The Detroit times., 1909-03-19
Thursdays Live Stock
Market and Sales at
Detroit Yards

Cattle were fairly active and about
steady with last week at the Detroit
yards on Thursday. A new top. for
the late winter months, of S6.l0 was
made for four extra fine Shorthorn
steers, weighing 1850 each: these
! cattle, which were about the best that
have been seen here this winter. were
shipped In by William Korff, OF Ro
chester, Mich, Il regular shipper TO
the Detroit market. The outlook for
handy cattle Is strong and higher
prices will rule the trade as summer
approaches and this kind OF cattle
become less numerous. Mich cows
were dull, and draggy. Veal calves
were In large supply and nearly 81
! lower than last week. A few were
sold for Ss.25. early Thursday, but at
| the close this kind had 10 go for
s775 per cwt.
Sheep and lambs were active and
25 TO 30 cents higher. A top OF 1919
was made In the lamb department and
| the average was mitch better for
mixed punches. Not many clips were
on sale. The weather Is still too cold
for the general movement OF clipped
stock, but warmer weather Will I'M
mediately bring II into market and
prices will be nearly as high as for
wool stock.
The best grades OF butchers hogs
were 10 10 cents higher. but mixed
lots and pigs were only steady with
last week. The top for prime med
iums was $3.50 Pigs brought from
So TO $6.25 per cwt.
