The Detroit times., 1909-01-08
Thursdays Live Stock
Market and Sales al
Detroit Yards

The new order OF things recent
Iy predicted by The Times for the De
& oft meat business has come to hand
even more promptly than was expect
ed. and the market has changed from
a sickening glut TO a condition OF
scarcity, which Is boosting wholesle
prices and causing retailers TO revise
their price lists all along the line. Re-
ceipts OF killing cattle. during the cur
rent week. have been fairly liberal,
hut the stock OF dressed beef were so
closely used up that buyers were eager
to secure stock and everything was
sold as soon as offered.
On Thursday arrivals we're larger
than was expected, but all were sold
at an early hour at prices somewhat
higher than those paid last week. One
bunch OF well-bred, l.250-pound steers
brought $3.50. which is record for
several weeks past. The ban is still
on milch cows and feeding cattle, and
no stock of this kind is moving. Veal
calves moved up the scale. So being
paid in one case for an extra fine lot.
The run of lambs was not nearly up
to local needs. and prices we're uni
versally high compared to those paid
during the quarantine period. Top
lambs brought $3.50 and some OF very
ordinary quality brought above So.
The run of hogs was light and prices
were level with the beginning of last
week. A few sales OF single hogs
were made at S. per cwt, but $5.s5
was high for the packers. Much higher
hog prices are looked for soon.
Weeks receipts until Thursday
night: Cattle, l,102; calves. 2S4;
sheep, LOTT; hogs, 4,S14.
