Fed cattle prices were forced downward on a Monday run of 7000 head in reflection of lowered carcass quotations and virtually no recovery was made until Thursday despite curtailed marketings. Slaughter under Federal inspection was moderately decreased as many plants reduced slaughter quotas because of poor movement of the finished product and the unfavorable ratio between realizations and 7 current live prices. Most interests were not par ticulary aggressive and were competitive only for minimum requirements. The Monday run included a Liberal percentage Choice Steers and Heifers but the supply thereafter was predominantly good to average-choice. Slaughter Steers made up ap proximately 29 per cent of the weeks total and Heifers 26 per cent cows comprised 7 per cent and feeders 36 per cent.
