Market and Sales at
Detroit Yards


Shippers to the Detroit market had
bad day on Thursday when every
thing on the list was lower, except
veal calves. The trade in the cattle
department was dull and prices were
10 TO Is cents lower for all kinds,
except feeders which were about
steady, thanks 10 the recent rains.
There was fair demand for tidy
killing cattle and for this kind prices
we're not much different; common
grassy cattle were dull and almost
unstable. In some cases. Mich cows
were dull and SO 10 S. lower. Veal
calves were steady at last week
prices few good calves brought
$3.50 per cwt.
Sheep and lambs opened 30 cents
lower but at the close this margin
was increased, good lambs going Tor
1915 In many cases and buyers oeins
hard to find, even at this reductlon'
The supply was larger than has been
the rule OF late and buyers took adj
vantage OF the situation to pound the
market numerically. On Wednes-
day. a few lambs sold for 1910 put
on Thursday. very few sales were
made above 81 per cwt
II was the hog trade that gave
the drovers the most trouble. now
ever. prices being fully 40 cents lower
for finished stock. Pigs were dun
hui about steady with last week.
For several weeks The Times has
been urging its readers 10 sell 'ne'l
hogs at the present range or prices
and this advice must again be otiereu'
I'm spite OF the weeks bad break HOGS
have seen their best for this season
