Closing prices on slaughter
steers and" heifers, steady to 25
higher advance mainly on Choice
and Prime. Cows weak to 50
lower. Bulls fully steady. Small
feeder supply weak.
Three day receipts 15,900 as
compared 20,000 previous week
and 19,300 a year ago. Feeder
Cattle trade followed a somewhat
uneven pattern as result of poor
distribution of supply following
a long holiday weekend. More
than 60 per cent of three day
total arrived on Tuesday and
prices were forced downward as
buyers had ample selection from
which to choose.
Mild early decline recovered at
mid week, however, when mar
keting dwindled to 4,500 head.

proximately 44 per cent and
heifers 35 per cent predominate
Good to Average Choice with a
noticeable increase in volume of
