Market and Sales at
Detroit Yards

The movement OF grass cattle has
begun in earnest and prices. except
for the best. are sagging at a rapid
rate. Prime steers and the better
grades OF handy cattle Just about held
up at the Detroit yards this week but
all other grades were lower The
stocker and feeder trade was more ac-
tive than heretofore, probably. as a
result OF the good pasturage which is
said 10 be quite general. the country
over. Mich cows were about SO
lower than they were last week. Veal
calves were slow and from % TO 50
cents per cwt lower than last week.
The sheep and lamb market was
called just about steady for all but
spring lambs which were 80 cents per
cwt lower: about the best that could
be done for spring lambs was s. and
some very fine lambs changed hands
at $3.50. All heavy sheep and yearl-
ings were dull and slow sale at the
bottom for this season. SO far.
The hog market was the star fea-
ture OF the days business. the top
for finished hogs being $3.50. Pigs
were no higher than last week, the
range being $500 10 s575 per cwt.
Hogs look about high enough for the
present and little setback can be
expected: country buyers will do well
10 operate conseryatively during the
current month. Much higher prices
are expected during the month of
August
