2,700. Compared last weeks
close, slaughter steers
steady to .50 lower.
Slaughter heifers steady.
Both slaughter steers and
heifers registered a price
upturn on Monday. But
declines Tuesday offset all of
the previous days advance.
Tuesday’s lower trend was
the result of a sharply
curtailed buyer demand
apparently due to tran
sportation difficulties ex
perienced by many
slaughtering plants. Cows
sold mostly 1.00 higher,
while bulls were steady.
