Mixed markets and strong cattle notes from New York and Fort Worth
A midday market report shows the Dow slipping 0.63 to 860.04 as profit taking rises amid concerns over the economic recovery. Cotton futures edge higher with no strong shifts, while gold prices drift lower in European markets. Fort Worth livestock shows slaughter cow and feeder cattle gains, with hogs and sows mixed and sheep unlisted. Community notes from Balmorhea share Thanksgiving gatherings, local visits, and a windy flea market day with nine booths and active vendors.
