As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers weak to 5.00 lower on a light test. Fears over the weekend that the China virus may be spreading out of control in other countries had traders of most stocks and commodities in a 'sell first, ask questions later' frame of mind on Monday. Demand light to moderate and supply light.
