Sewer Pipe Trust Deemed Defunct Amid Price Collapse
The Sewer Pipe Trust appears to be broken as several manufacturers failed to join the syndicate, preventing price increases and causing below-cost sales.

Receipts and market notes show a downturn in cattle with some higher quality stock, while pork packing profits are squeezed by weather and rising curing costs. The Week's Transactions list receipts at the Liberty Stockyards.
