a rather irregular pattern
during the week under
review. Prices were forced
downward on the initial ses
sion in reflection of a dull
carcass trade carrying over
from the previous week and
fairly liberal marketings.
However, stiff seller
resistance curtailed
marketings sharply and
prices again pointed upward
to regam much of the early
downturn. In addition, car
cass -trading showed
moderate improvement at
midweek, and most
slaughterers were in need of
cattle for immediate re
quirements as live inven
tories became depleted. The
run included a fairly large
percentage or*choice steers
and heifers and a modest
volume choice and prime.
Slaughter steers made up
approximately 38 per cent of
the week’s total and heifers
30 per cent cows comprised 9
per cent and feeders 20 per
cent.
