Thursday, November 8
Compared previous week’s
close: closing prices on average-
Good to Prime slaughter steers
1.00-1.50 lower, Standard and low-
Good 50-1.00 lower. Heifers 1.50-
2.00 lower. Cows 1.00-1.50 lower,
bulls weak to 1.00 lower. Small
feeder supply 50-1.00 lower.
Four day receipts 18,000 as
compared 18,700 previous week
and 19,400 a year ago. Slaughter
steers approximately 40 percent
and heifers 36 percent with a
liberal percentage Choice both
classes included and many of the
steers in the desired 975-1150
pound weight range. Cows 11
percent, feeders 10 percent. Fed
cattle prices forced downward as
carcass prices declined' under
increased slaughter and outlet
for live cattle narrowed. The
most startling development in the
livestock industry since ceiling
prices were imposed was an
nounced late last week when
Canadian authorities increased
the import tariff on live cattle by
200 percent to 4.50 per hundred
effective immediately. As a
consequence, the heavy flow of
cattle to Canadian facilities was
reduced but substantially lower
prices during the week served to
offset a good portion of the in
creased tariff. The modest
volume of 1300-1500 pound yield
grade 4-5 steers came under
continued heavy pressure and
often sold 2.00-3.00 per hundred.
