Thursdays Live Stock
Market and Sales at
Detroit Yards

~>->>>~>~>~s>>>
A light run OF killing cattle made an
active trade at Detroit on Thursday
and prices were strong with last
weeks values for everything except
high-grade shippers. which were
trifie easy. Stockers and feeders dull
but better things are looked for now
that the drouth is broken. The aver
age quality OF the cattle on offer was
extremely poor, many buyers OF handy
cattle failing to secure what they
needed.
Mich cows were active and steady
but about so cents per cwt. was added
to the range of calf prices; top calves
sold for $3.50. The present range OF
calf prices looks dangerously high and
buyers will do well TO operate eau
tiousiy, as the season advances.
The run Of sheep and lambs was not
equal to the needs of the market and
prices were marked up 20 to SO cents
Present prices in the sheep and lamb
department look too low and owners
OF prime feeding stock are advised to
hold for better markets. Thursdays
top on lambs was $3.50
Hogs were active and the finished
stock was 10 to 20 cents higher than
last week. The general situation In
the hog markets Of the country seems
to foreshadow somewhat higher prices
before the close Of the present month.
The feeder who sells finished hogs at
current values will, however, make no
mistake. Receipts-Cattle, 6S1; calves.
