CATTLE Compared
with last weeks close,
average Good to Prime
slaughter steers 1.50-2.00
lower, Standard and Good
Holsteins 501.00 off. Heifers
mostly 2.00 lower. Cows
weak to mostly 50 cents
lower, Bulls strong to 1.00
higher. Feeder supply
hardly sufficient for market
test.
Four day receipts 15,400 as
compared 11,700 previous
week and 14,000 a year ago.
Slaughter steers short 40
percent, heifers 34 percent,
predominance high-Good to
average-Choice. Cows 17
percent, feeders less than 5
percent. A bearish air of
.caution and uncertainty
covered the fed cattle trade.
A huge backlog of carcass
beef poured into the market
stream and prices plum
metted downward. Live
trading followed a similar
downward course and
demand was often of an
indifferent nature with the
approaching non-slaughter
holiday in some plants on
February 18th adding to the
bearishness. Supplies
unevenly distributed over
period with nearly 50 percent
arriving on opening session.
Modest volume high-Good
and Choice 1000-1150 pound
steers bought for shipment to
Canada. Mud a major price
determing factor with
animals carrying con
siderable mud selling 50-1.00
below same grades which
were relatively clean.
