The Detroit times., 1908-12-04
Thursdays Live Stock
Market and Sales at
Detroit Yards

A light run OF stock at the Detroit
yards on Wednesday and Thursday OF
this week made an active market In
all lines, local buyers not being able
TO purchase nearly all OF the stock that
they needed. All OF the better grades
OF butchering cattle were active and
steady, but common COWS and mixers
were almost unstable. Drovers viii
do well to hold back all shipments of
stock that cannot be killed immediate
ly, as there is absolutely no outlet.
Veal calves were in light supply and
prices were steady with last week. the
best bringing $3.50. The demand for
prime lambs was rather active, and
prime stock would have brought $3.50
had it been offered.
Hogs were dull, but prices averaged
10 10 Is cents above last week for
finished hogs. Thin hogs and pigs are
almost unstable and shippers should
hold them back for the present. Top
hogs brought $40. The market was
BADLY out OF line with other points,
as prime hogs should have brought at
least S5.75 TO have compared favor
ably with the markets at other points.
Shippers should operate conservative
ly, shipping to Detroit only stock that
must be handled Immediately as an
over-supply will quickly glut the cut
rent market and cause serious loss.
Receipts for the week: Cattle, 81;
calves. $50; sheep. s37: hogs, 5.497.
