Cows and heifers have suffered more on
an average than beef steers, being around
SOC lower for the week.
Light stoekers and feeders OF good quail

that we're fully steady with the best time
yesterday and strong to II anything a little
higher than yesterdays average,
As general thing prices were about
steady with yesterday. Sales were scat
