BIG CROWDS COME ON
BUYERS EXCURSIONS

Buyers week, during which the
Wholesalers association OF Detroit
will meet and entertain merchants
from other cities coming here to pur-
chase spring and summer stocks has
opened with a larger early influx OF
merchants than either of The other
buyers excursions of the Wholesal-
ers. Monday, large number OF mer-
chants were In looking over goods, and
the record OF nearly 400 visiting mer-
chants which was made by the winter
excursion promises to be far sur
passed.
The Wholesalers association Is
busy with it's work OF Improving ship
ments, and some new plans that VIII
extend the Detroit market greatly are
being prepared. The great advantage
that has been obtained is In getting
prompt and rapid shipment for De
troit goods and securing through rates
to points not on a direct line, instead
OF theh igher rates formerly prevail
ing. The Detroit market has been
greatly broadened since this organiza.
ton came into existence and Detroit
Is now competing with Chicago. Mil
waukee, st. Paul. Indianapolis and
Cincinnati in territory that formerly
was conceded TO these cities.

By II. II. MICK.

The demand for feeder cattle Is
reviving with the coming OF grass.
taking many cattle that hitherto have
been bought by the butchers. Mich
cows are scarce and high. not enough
coming to hand To nearly supply the
demand The spring run OF veal
calves has been, large but there are
ample evidences that the stock Is
about all In and higher prices are
loked for during the next 80 days.
Sheep and lambs are not coming
freely TO the Detroit market. and the
few that, come to hand are taken
promptly at outside quotations. The
low price at which wool is selling is
acting as n damper on the trade In
the interior. A few spring lambs
were received In the Detroit market
last week, selling for $40 per cwt. The
lambs that have come TO hand locally
are extremely poor In quality or the
price range would be much higher.

BROOKS OPPOSED
TO WRITTEN ORDERS

Control of interurban cars by writ
ten orders from the dispatchers Is
not the ideal system, in the opinion
of F. w. Brooks, general manager OF
the Detroit United Railway. 1t is his
belief that the present system OF
printed time cards, reinforced by tele-
phonic orders from the dispatcher's
Office is the safest manner OF hand
ling electric cars, and he will so
argue at the meeting OF interurban
road managers TO De called by the
state railroad commission.
II is the contention of Mr.. Brooks
that errors are likely TO creep into the
written orders and that they do not
make the impression on the car crew
that the verbal orders do when some
break in the time OF the cars causes
a change In the routine OF the runs.
He says that the recent accident on
the Ypsi.Ann line was due TO a dis
regard OF both the printed time card
and the verbal orders from the dis
patcher. rather than to an error In
giving the orders.
