Cows weak to 1.00 lower. Bulls steady. Demand from most buying in terests sustained by the fact than live inventories were usually held at minimal levels and buyers needed cattle for close-up slaughter. Price advances were also backed by slight increases in dressed beef realizations. Mud problems again diminished, while light weight cattle often “hard sellers”; particularly Heifers under 925 lbs. Steers comprised 48 pet of the week’s receipts, Heifers 34 pet, Cows 7 pet, Feeders 9 pet. Four day receipts 10,541, last week 11,097, year ago 12,150.
