Thursdays Live Stock
Market and Sales at
Detroit Yards

The cattle market scored bad
break In Detroit on Thursday. prices
ranging from 10 TO 80 cents lower.
The biggest reduction came on bulls
which sold higher here last week
than for many moons; the reduction
was fully so cents per cwt. All grades
of grassy killers were dull and 40 10
so cents lower than last week. Drov-
ers will do well to operate conserva-
lively In the near future as indica-
tons favor a further break before
any substantial recovery Is made.
Good stockers and feeders are hold
ing their own owing to the wonderful
growth of the pastures. Heavy cat.
tie are hard TO place on account OF
the hot weather.
Mich cows are steady with good
lively trade In prime cows, but the
outlook favors decidedly lower prices
before long. Veal calves were 20 to
so cents lower with tops bringing So.
Sheep and lambs were In light sup
ply and decidedly lower; had the run
been large prices would have gone
very much lower than they did.
Heavy yearlings like heavy steers are
no longer wanted and must be sold
al a discount. One nice little bunch
OF spring lambs brought $40 per cwt
The top for clipped lambs was 500
per cwt. Common grassy sheep and
lambs are almost unstable.
Hogs made a big gain. one extra
fine string making, 1857 l-2 per cwt
Pigs were still dull and unchanged al
$490q5. A big bulge in the specula
tive provision market is looked fol
soon. Hogs will sell 81 per cwt high
er before Sept. l.
