The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1908-07-31
Thursdays Live Stock
Market and Sales at
Detroit Yards

Sellers had hard time placing their
cattle In the Detroit market on Thurs
day. even at prices 10 to 20 cents low
CIR than those paid last week; the only
kinds that were steady were stockers,
feeders and milch cows. Last week.
the common kinds showed a big loss
and more was taken of again this
week; this week, however, the better
grades suffered equally. several bands
of tidy steers, averaging between 1000
and 1,200 pounds, selling around IS
that would have done dollar better
on this date last month The prospect
for a good corn crop. in Michigan and
Ohio Is having a favorable effect on
the stocker and feeder trade in the
Detroit market. Veal calves were
weak and so cents lower than last
week. The top for calves was 81 per
cwt.
Lambs were about 81 lower than
at the beginning Of last weeks trade
Sheep sold about level with last
weeks close. A few sales OF extra
lambs were made at $3.50. but at the
close the best could be bought for So
The quality in the sheep department
was extremely common, several bunch
es of old toothless mammies coming
to hand that were condemned by the
inspector. Shippers may depend upon
IL that the health authorities OF De
troit will not allow thin, old sheep
to be marketed and IL will be as well
for them to leave this kind In the
country unless they wish to suffer
loss.
In the hog division, the trade was
much more active than was looked
for by the selling contingent and the
prices realized were just about leve
with those paid last week. A few ex
ira punches made 1915; pigs, $3.50 &c
$3.50; roughs, $525 to $3.50.
Receipts: Cattle. 1923; calves, 665;
sheep. 1854; hogs, 2,34l.
