Thursdays Live Stock
Market and Sales at
Detroit Yards

Except for the veal calf trade which
was active on Thursday at higher
prices than prevailed last week, the
Detroit live stock market was a dis
appointment 10 the drover. A large
run OF common cattle came TO hand
on Wednesday, exactly as they did
last week and met the same fate
There were no cattle buyers In sight
on the first day Of the new three-day
live stock market and the entire re-
ceipts were carried over TO Thursday.
The trade was dull and prices were
10 TO Is cents lower for all but the
best kinds. OF which very few were
offered. large number OF cattle,
from the burnt districts OF northern
Michigan, were on sale but poor quail
fly made them slow sellers. Stockers
and feeders were dull and about
steady. Mich cows were scarce and
steady. Veal calves were higher with
not nearly enough on sale to meet
the demands OF the trade. A rev
calves brought $3.50. Outlook higher
for calves.
Lambs opened on Wednesday with
prices about level with last weeks
closing trade, but few were sold I'M
til Thursday morning when the puy-
ers took OF from 25 to so cents on
all kinds. On Wednesday, few ex'
ira lambs brought $3.50 but al the
close on Thursday nickel would buy
the very best and few takers In sight
at that The outlook favors mucn
lower prices.
One extra fine bunch OF fat York
ers brought 81 per cwt on Wednes-
day. and the average range was from
$3.50 to 1915 for mixed bunches OF
hogs. AS usual the sign changed on
Thursday morning when the packers
learned that big run was coming.
Mixed punches sold at various prices
ranging from 1925 TO $3.50 with Few
extras a trife higher. Prices were
more than % cents lower than on the
day before or about level with last
weeks average trade. When 1t Is re-
membered that both Chicago aid Buf-
falo were 25 cents higher than last
week that both Chicago and Bunaio
were IS cents higher than last week
the unreasonableness OF the situation
becomes apparent.
Receipts for Wednesday and Thurs
day: Cattle, 1,347, calves, sos; sheep,
4,374; hogs, 1918. .----
