The Detroit times., 1909-07-16
Thursdays Live Stock
Market and Sales at
Detroit Yards

The supply Of desirable killing cat
tie was not large at the DesIoit yards
on Thursday and there were lew price
changes from last weeks range. All
grades OF common cattle were In
abundant supply and prices were east
ly 20 cents lower. From this time on
until the closing In of winter. grass
cattle will Increase In numbers each
weeA and prices will decline. Mich
cows were fairly active with only
few desirable cows on offer. Veal
calyes were In light supply and prices
were again sharply higher; last weeks
calf run was much below normal and
the same is true this week. One or
Two choice calves brought $3.50 per
cwt. Spring lambs and c;.lves are
selling IN about the same noIch. these
days, the dressed meat from these an
imals costs more than $l2 per cwt.,
hanging OF the hooks.
The run OF sheep and lambs was
larger than that OF last week and
spring lambs were called trine
easier. The city is hungry Tor NUT
ton and lamb because OF the light
arrivals of the last month and every
thing was taken promptly without
quibbling or beating around the bush
on the part OF buyers.
The quality III the hog division was
the worst If the season 80 far. Sellers,
who offered good hogs. had the best o.
ii and there was nothing to co but pay
the price and say nothing. William
Korff Rochester, Mich. copied the
hog tiade with choice bunch TO-
which he received IS; these hogs
were just the right weight, around go
pounds and full of fat. They were fed
by Charles Griggs, OF Rochester. An
average of $3.50 for hogs is rathef
a good Price. The pig trade was fair
iy active. The run contained man
thin stubble hogs: more OF this kind
may be looked for from this time on.
