Thursday, October 26,1978
Compared with previous
week’s close: closing prices
on slaughter steers were
2.002.25 lower and heifers
closed 1.25-1.50 lower: Cows
were steady to weak and
bulls fully steady.
Four day receipts 11,800
compared to 10,600 previous
week and 16,600 a year ago.
The fed cattle trade was
characterized by a general
air of bearishness in the
wake of the recent “cattle on
feed” report and a rapidly
declining carcass trade on
the wholesale level. Most
buying interests were in
need of cattle, but were not
inclined to acquire numbers
beyond immediate
requirements. There was
strong early seller
resistance to the lower
prices, but trading was
usually slow and selective
despite small supplies of
fered. Despite lower live
prices, some slaughterers
reduced hours because of the
unfavorable ratio between
