Cows closed 50-1.00 lower and bulls were steady. Four day receipts 15,000 as compared 16,600 previous week and 14,000 a year ago. A poor distribution of sup plies over the trading period was a negative factor in the fed cattle trade as nearly 50 percent of the four day supply arrived on Monday. Prices were forced down ward on the opening session, but the early downturn was recovered on later sessions as marketings were cur tailed and most buying in terests needed cattle for immediate requirements. Carcass trading was dull through midweek despite a slight decrease in federal slaughter. A large share of the steer supply was good to average-choice with a sizable showing 1000-1100 lbs. Many cattle carried a modest amount of mud as a result of recent rams over the trade territory. Steers made up approximately 32 percent of the weeks total and heifers 28 percent. Cows comprised 6 percent and feeders 33 percent. STEERS: The forepart of week, few loads and part loads Choice and Prime 34 1087-1277 lbs. 42.50.
