Most Prices Up Despite Falling Screen, Mild Temps

Prices were flat to up a little more than 20 cents in most of the cash market Tuesday. The mild softness tended to congregate at Louisiana, Alabama/Mississippi and Northeast points. One source said storage buying must still be in vogue, because the physical market had support neither from a prior-day screen drop nor from weather that remains fairly mild outside a hot southern half of Texas and desert Southwest.
