demand all week at the current price
ranges. Western direct feedlot trade turned
slightly higher late in the week to end
mostly 57.00-SB.OO. October live cattle
futures also advanced this week and are
trading near the 60.00 range. All this could
be a hint that we have seen the bottom of
this cycle's cattle market slump. A good
supply of local slaughter cows sold steady
to 1.00 lower and slaughter bulls closed
1.00-130 lower. This week’s supply was
made up of around 42 percent slaughter
steers, S percent slaughter heifers, 36 per
cent slaughter cows, 4 percent bulls and the
balance were feeder cattle.

In Philadelphia, medium prices were
unchanged to one cent lower; in Boston,
extra large and large prices were unchanged
to one cent higher; in New England, extra
large and large prices were two cents high
er; and the balance of prices was
unchanged. The market tone was mixed
with large-sized brown eggs fully steady to
firm. Demand was in a full range of light to
good, mostly moderate. Supplies of
mediums were fully adquate, extra large
were tight, and other sizes were generally
adequate. Brown eggs in New England
remained short, especially the larger
weights. Breaking stock supplies were
adequate for the light demand. Offers of
spent hens were sufficient for full slaughter
schedules.
