Thursdays Live Stock
Market and Sales at
Detroit Yards

The trade in the cattle division OF
the Detroit live stock market was de. |
cidedly dull on Thursday and prices !
were 10 To 40 cents lower for all kinds. |
BuyerB thoroughly realized the situa-
ton with which they always have 10
deal in an overstocked market ana
they made the most OF the opportunity
offered TO get back part OF the cash
that they have found 1t necessary 10
put up during the last three months
OF stiff live stock and weak fresh |
meat markets The grass cattle are
getting in their work in good earnest
and the belated break In cattle prices
seems now near at hand Mich cows
were active and higher under an ac-
tive demand and small sapply.
Pastures are good and nearly every
dairyman In the country would buy a
few cows II he knew just where he
could buy them right; this sort OF
thing always makes stif market
with an upward trend. Veal calves
were in liberal supply and prices were
lower in sympathy with the break In
cattle. A few calves brought $3.50,
which was SO cents below last weeks
top.
Sheep. fattened on grass. are be-
ginning TO make their appearance In
western markets and the mutton mar
ket Is In the dumps as a result OF this
oversupply. Detroit only had a mod
crate run of stock. but buyers were In
an economical mood and the result
was a cut in values ranging from 20
to 80 cents per cwt. with sheep the
worst sufferers. The top on lambs
was $725, but the bulk OF the sales
were made below 81.
While hog prices were hardly so
high as last week on an average. the
trade showed considerable activity
considering the inferior quality OF the
offerings: stubble hogs and thin gras-
sy middle-weights were largely In evil
dence and sellers had hard time
sorting punches down to selling
quality. On the whole. the market
was not much different from last
week
