CATTLE WEEKLY Com
pared last Friday, high choice
and prime slaughter steers SO
LDO lower, average choice and
below steady to 50 lower Slaugh
ter heifers steady to 25 lower.
Cows scarce, strong Bulls un
changed.
. Curtailed demand in view of
no slaughtering Thanksgiving
Day appeared to be a factor con
tributing to the price declines in
both slaughter steers and heifers
also the sharp price downturns
in high choice and prime slaugh
ter steers resulted as the eastern
demand for such kinds was re
duced sharply. Some east coast
packers bought very sparingly
in anticipation of a strike by
their employees when their
labor contracts expire at the end
tdf-the -month.
Receipts 77 per cent slaughter
steers, 20 per cent heifer, bal
ance mainly cows. Overall finish
of slaughter steers the same as

Prices unchanged on large,
irregular on mediums and
smalls. Undertone highly ner
vous and unsettled. Demand lo
cally was mixed; quiet through
large distributors, while small

good activity under last minute
fill-in carton orders. Tra'ding
stocks of fancy extra large
whites burdensome with offer

attract interest. Large were
ample but not as burdensome
while mediums were in fan
balance to- slightly excessive
Coupled with a decline in ex
port activity this week pullets
were accumulating in quarters
Carton orders were fair to good
from both large and small re
