slaughter steers were $.75-
1.25 higher, and heifers were
$l.OO-1.50 higher. Cows
closed $2,504.00 lower and
bulls were weak to $l.OO
lower. A reduced supply of
fleshy two-way feeder steers
sold steady to firm.
Four day receipts 13,700,
last week 13,400, a year ago
16,800.
Fed cattle prices once

much improved carcass
