Compared with the previous week’s close: prices on slaughter steers and heifers were 50-75 lower, instances 1.00 lower through midweek, but limited late sales were steady. Cows were 1.50-2.50 lower, bulls firm to 1.00 higher. Four day receipts 15,100 as compared 10,500 previous week and 15,900 a year ago. After a stable-initial session, fed cattle prices were forced downward, partially in reaction to the sharp ad vance scored the previous week as carcass prices declined the forepart of the week. Midweek trading .was uneven as a bearish early demand gave way to a mild aggressiveness in reflection of the uptrendmg carcass trade. Most interests were in need of cattle for immediate requirements early, but were generally cautious and selective as they sought to hold live prices m line with changing carcass realizations. Marketings were moderately increased over previous week but still were of modest proportions. The overall finish was again attractive with a liberal percentage choice steers and heifers included, and still several loads 3-5 1300-1600 lb. steers. Slaughter steers made up approximately 8 per cent and feeders 28 per cent. STEERS; Three loads choice and prime 3-4 1200- 1255 lbs. 39.50.
