Compared to last Tuesday the feeder market was uneven and spotty with a good 
quality offering.  Feeder steers and heifers were steady to 6.00 lower or 
greater in spots with a good supply and moderate demand.   An increasing supply 
of fat bawling calves, and nearly a double digit drop in the futures market has 
limited the premiums buyers are will to pay and increased discounts for plainer 
or off colored cattle.   Slaughter cows and bulls were 1.00 to 3.00 lower with 
a good supply and moderate demand.
