ate. Live supplies were moderate to light;
weights were mostly desirable. Processing
schedules were very heavy. Most plants
will not operate on the holiday Thursday,
but will resume normal operations on Fri
day. Less than trucklot asking prices were
unchanged at 50 to 63 cents. Trade senti
ment was at least steady. In the parts com
plex, breangs were adequate and clearing
well
