Thursdays Live Stock
Market and Sales al
Detroit Yards

The cattle trade was active at the
Detroit stock yards on Thursday and
prices were steady with last week,
except for good fat cows which were
quoted higher The Hammond-Stand-
ish buyer was hardly so active as US
ual, of late, but the market was a
broad one and everything was taken
AT fair values. The quality OF the cat
tie coming to the local market just
row. Is decidedly common and killers
find II difficult to secure stock that
will meet the needs of their trade.
The supply of veal calves was far be-
yond the needs of the trade and prices
siumped from 81 10 $1.25 below last
weeks range Mich cows were fairly
active at steady prices.
Prime wool lambs were about steady
with last weeks closing trade. bu.
clipped stock was dull AMI lower. A
few extra fine lambs brought So. The
spread ON clips was equal to. s1,25
per cwt.
Hogs were dull and 10 TO Is cents
lower than last week. On Tuesday.
April "a, a rather ordinary bunch Of
hogs were sold In the Detroit yards
for S7.45: the best that could be done
for the same kind on Thursday was
81 per cwt. The present rise In live
hog values has been too rapid to last
and 1t would not be surprising to those
best acquainted with the habits OF the
trade II values eased of 81 more be-
fore July /. Killers find II next to
impossible 10 get first money out OF
A days buying at this range and they
are calling a halt on the upward rise
OF prices.

Sam Hammond, Sam-why, Cap'n
Ez, what are you talking about? Sam
told me himself that he'd come home
to rest. He's going back to New York
In q little while. He wouldn't work
for us!'

And so that is how Samuel Ham,
mono, late Of the Metropolitan Wreck
Ing company of New York, came to en-
ter the employ of Titcomb e. Nicker-
son, to whom he had contemptuously
referred as anchor draggers." But If
Bradley supposed for moment that
Sam would change his patronizing at
dtude because of the move he was
much mistaken. Mr.. Hammond laugh
ed when he boarded the Lizzie. asked
facetiously If "ths was the vessel or
only the long boatT and poked fun at
the whole outfit generally. He gave
each member Of the crew to under
stand that he was only doing this for
awhile to help out Brad He said that
putterlng around this way was such a
change for him that 1t was the best
fun of his vacation.
He took pains to make his position
plain In the minds Of the townspeople.
Captain Jabez Bailey told Bradley in q
confidential whisper: Its mighty good
OF Sam to turn to and help you and
Ez out Of hole. hope you appre-
ciate It," Bradley said he appreciated
1t fully.
Even Gus was inclined to view the
matter In that light. Sam saw to it
that she did. He called at the Baker
homestead pretty often, and when
Bradley was there treated the latter in
jolly, good fellow sort of way that
couldn't well be resented, but which
had always in it that aggravating fla
v9r of plying patronage.
Bradley felt that he was placed In an
awkward and humiliating position. He
told Gus so plainly.

fair to allow Sam to call here as he
does!"

i Titcomb ten days later,

49, Iiberty's chain had been
laid on Orham wharf. There, that
child's born, and his names Adoniram!
Now, then, Brad. what next-more
anchor draggin'?"
Getting up that chain with a hand
MINDLESS was a tough proposition, but
they had done it finally. The calm
weather helped them here, for, though
the heavy links had sanded somewhat,
they managed to work the last one
loose after struggle. Again the part
ners had longed for the much talked of
schooner with an engine. but this time
1t was Bradley who did most of the
complaining. The captain merely look
cd wise and winked knowingly. 'Keep
your head to windard, son." he re-
marked. MAY be I'll have s'prise

"Oh, you'll get 1t. I'd be willing to
bet that you'd get up the everlasting
foundations If you made up your mind

hands In his pockets and looked quiz
zically at Bradley-"if you get sick of
anchor dragging any time, come and
see me. Have a cigar to smoke as you

Bradley was happy. He felt that
when Cook & Son should have future
wrecking contracts to give out Tit
comb & Nickerson might be considered
as bidders to be reckoned with.

They talked for few minutes long
er. Sam asked how the anchor drag
ging trust was getting on. Then the
two trains started. Bradley leaned
back in his seat in the smoker and
meditated.. Somehow a conversation
with Sam always made him "blue."
He wished the fellow was not going
to Orham
Next morning, bright and early, he
walked into the "coal kings" office.
An important young man with a pen
behind his ear disdalned to notice him.
"Who'd you wish to seer" he asked
after dignifed interval.
"Mr. Cook--the older one," answered
Bradley. "
Hes busy now: likely to be busy
all the morning. What do you want to
see him for? Won't dOY'
Don't know, I'm sure" replied the
wrecker gravely. "I'll speak to Mr..
Cook about it. You see, he was the
one that sent for me, so''-
"He sent for you! Oh, excuse me. I
wish you'd said so sooner. Sit down.
please. What name, sir?''
"Nickerson, SIR"
The young man, much less impor-
tant. hurried into another room and re-
turned at once.
"Mr. Cook II see you, SIR" he said,
opening the gate. "Step right into his
private Office. Mr.. Nickerson."
The great Mr.. Cook was seated be-
hind his big carved desk. The whole
outfit looked rather formidable. He
stared at Bradley over his glasses.
"Sit down." he commanded. ''Got
my wire, suppose2"
"Yes, SIR"
"Well, what's your lowest price for
the anchor and chain Of the Liberty,
which understand you have buoyed,
delivered on the Orham wharf? Low.

Five hundred dollars"
"All right. you may take 1t up. I'll
give you four hundred cash for the
job. Go ahead, and work quick. Good
day. Nickerson; glad to have met you"
He swung around to the desk and
picked up some papers. But Bradley
did not 60.
Excuse me. Mr.. Cook" he said
"Our figure was FIVE hundred, not

"Humph! Well. fve's robbery. Four's

"All right sir. Sorry we can't trade.
Good morning."
Hold on therew shouted the owner
OF the Liberty. "Do you mean you
won't raise the anchor?"

"Oh, well. hang it, 60 ahead! Five

any more"
But Bradley still hesitated. There
Is just one thing more, Mr.. Cook" he
said. THAT chain has sanded in every
day since 1t has been on that bottom.

Lizzie. asked a question In his turn.
"Cap'n Ez," he said. "do you remcn-
Der that schooner loaded with tar that
foundered on the fats off Caleb's point
last March? The one we located whom
we were dragging for Anderson's an
chor that timer"
Captain Titcomb nodded. "Yup," he
said. "She b'longed to n Boston firm
seems to me. Let's see-what was
their names?"
Cotton, Lee & Co. They are on Com.
mercial street. Well, l went in to see
'em when I was up to Boston"
"YOu did?"
Yes. That tar has stuck in nv
mind ever since you told me about II.
1t was In barrels, you see, and it's
harder than Pharaoh's heart natural
ly, SO the salt water hasn't had time
to hurt it any to speak Of. Obed told
me that the schooner was insured and
the cargo wasn't. So thought I'd go
In and see the owners. Well, they'd
pretty nearly forgotten about the tar.
suppose it had been charged to profit
and loss long ago. We talked. and I
told 'em that / might perhaps be able
to save few barrels-only a few, Of
course. The upshot Of 1t all was that
l bought the whole cargo, $40 barrels,
Just as II lies ON the bottom. for $25
cash."
"You didn't"
II did. 1t was sos more than they
ever expected to get at that. Now,
cap'n. our agreement was that no new
move should be entered into without
the consent Of both partners. This
deal was so all In the air. as you
might say. that didn't say anything
about 1t until I'd seen the owners.
Now. II you feel that we can't raise
enough Of the stuff to pay for the trou-
ble I'll let the twenty-five come out Of
my pocket and call 1t fine for being
too smart"
You shan't do no such thing. We
can git out enough Of that tar to make
that up twice over. even with the back
number rig we've got. But If we had
divin' kit and diver I'd be willin'
to bet we could save two or three hun
dred barrels. maybe more"
That's what thought. So / spent
nearly three hours cruising up and
down Atls ntic avenue and rummaging
In ship stores and such places. And,

The captain. with both hands jam.
