Market and Sales al
Detroit Yards


Prime steers and handy cattle were
just about steady on Thursday, but
CLASSY cattle OF all kinds were 10 TO
20 cents lower than last week. Their
general quality OF the offerings on sale
was Only fair, although II was decided
ly better than those OF last week.
The meat trade is said 10 be very dull
but it, is believed that me bulge In
live hogs will help out the demand
for other grades OF fresh meat very
soon. Mich cows are dull. but about
steady in price. Veal calves were
very much higher than last week. a
opening OF the market; the close was
lower.
The sheep and lamb market open
ed at prices steady with those paid
last week and few extra lambs
brought $3.50 per cwt.; before the day
was done. however, prices broke fully
90 cents per cwt. for all kinds. The
small run OF last week. in the sheep
department, left the market practical
ly bare OF mutton and lamb. but as
soon as buyers had secured enough to
squeeze through on. the market be-
gan 10 drag and the close was on a
par with week before last
Hogs were the star feature OF the
Gays business, prices ranging 20 to
30 cents higher; the biggest gain was
in the pig department, where stock
sold for Sc per cwt. that would not
have brought more than $3.50 last
week. In the issue OF May %, The
IRA
1908, hogs would sell 81 per cwt.
higher than prices which then ruled
the market; the average Of that week
was 1857 LIZ. The goods were de-
liyered" before August /. The out
look favors still higher prices before
the market turns.
