The Detroit times., 1908-01-10
Thursdays Live Stock
Market and Sales at
Detroit Yards

Detroit received a large run OF cat
tie on Thursday and prices were lower
for all kinds. The trade held up well,
under the circumstances, and the out
look for the future has much OF en-.
couragement to the feeder of medium
priced cattle. The stocker trade was
a little better than has been the rule
of late. Common and medium quality
cattle are leading the trade and will
continue To do SO for the remainder
| of the season.
The better grades OF mich cows are
still very scarce and high; common
cows are plentiful and extremely slow
sale. The opening for calves was
strong at last weeks prices, but the
supply was larger than was expected
and the close was easy. Top calves
brought So readily all day, but COM
| mon calves were dull and slow on the
closing trade,
Top lambs were active and 25c high
err, one extra fine bunch selling for
$3.50 per cwt. The outlook for lambs
Is fairly good at this writing, but
present prices look a trifie too high
to last and country shippers should
operate cautiously.
On the opening trade hogs looked
a trifle lower, but the average OF the
days business was not much differ-
ent from last week. Pigs and light
hogs were more active than on last
weeks market, Sullivan having orders
for a long string. All kinds sold at
the same range, $4.35 to $3.50. Hog
receipts have been large OF late and
prices have been held down by the
volume OF the offerings; decrease
In receipts will be the signal for high
err prices. Packers have made more
money from their slaugnter1ng opes-
atoms, during the last month. than dur
ing any similar period for the last
FIVE years.
