Trade sentiment was mixed, ranging
steady to weak, mostly barely steady to
weak. Demand was seasonally slow to fair
with few trades occurring. Supplies of all
sizes were adequate to ample and fre
quently discounted to help move. In the
parts structure, trading for mid-week was
slow and unaggresssive to light with
availability of all items at least adequate.
In production areas, live supplies were
moderate at desirable to heavy weights.
