Slaughter steers and
heifers sold at firm prices on
the initial session under a
good demand. Sharp price
declines were enforced on
Tuesday, however, in
reflection of a downward
plunging carcass trade, and
most buying interests were
competitive only for
minimum numbers. This
was the greatest weekly

months. Best demand
