Closing prices slaughter steers
weak to 50c lower late sales
mostly 25-50 c lower. Heifers
steady. Cows weak to 50c lower.
Bulls fully steady. Feeder cattle
fully steady under a continued
broad demand.
Four day receipts 20,100 as
compared 16,700 previous week
and 22,300 a year ago. Slaughter
steers approximately 41 percent,
liberal percentage Choice and
moderate volume high-Choice
and Prime. Heifers 32 percent,
these predominantly high-Good
to average-Choice. Cows 9 per
cent, feeders 15 percent Fed
cattle showed considerable
stability the forepart of week as
most interests needing cattle for
immediate requirements:
however, trading came under
pressure at midweek as supplies
proved ample to meet reduced
slaughter quotas in many plants
and most buying interests were
additionally cautious and
selective on the late rounds since
the finished product will hit
distribution channels during the
upcoming 4th of July Holiday
week. The decline in live prices
was eased m many cases by
rather liberal waterfills resulting
from hot humid weather.

When you cut open a
cantaloupe or honeydew
melon and find it’s not ripe,
just wrap it tightly in alu
minum foil and leave it out
of the refrigerator for a
couple of days.
Canned foods may be re
frigerated in the original
containers. Acid foods will
pick up a metallic taste
which is harmless but un
desirable.
