Cattle Market Report From Chicago Market Letter
Receipts this week were not heavy and demand remained very light causing unsatisfactory markets. Monday saw 16,000 cattle, a light opening run, with prices about 10 higher than last week and some sales as much as 16 higher. Wednesday's 19,000 head run surprised expectations, but trade was extremely slow with prices about 10 lower, some 15 lower than Monday. Overall, the market held roughly steady with last week’s close, demand weak, and a need for lighter cattle runs. Butcher stock sold quite freely.
