point of the year to date
during the current week.
However, late demand was
curbed somewhat by the

although some tran
sportation difficulties were
still reported in moving beef
eastward. Supplies were
moderate and''were fairly
weU distributed over the
trading period. There was a
modest showing high-choice
and prime steers and
heifers, but a large share
were good to average
choice. Slaughter steers
made up approximately 43
pet and heifers 33 pet. cows
comprised 11 pet and feeders
