A. radical change in market condi-
tions made itself felt at the Detroit
stock yards on Thursday. The better
grades OF cattle. which have beeu
leading the trade for several weeks
past, were dull and lower. and the
common and medium butchers
grades were 10 to Is cents higher. AS
predicted I'm The Times earlier In the
week. the time for holiday cattle Is
passed for this year and the demand
for some time to come Will be for the
cheaper grades OF cattle; the upper
limit will be about 50 per cwt. Mich
cows are still scarce and active with
the best selling, readily. for $50 each.
Veal calves were scarce and 20 to 90
cents higher; range of prices 20 "a
$3.50 per cwt.
sheep and lambs were active and 20
10 30 cents higher, the top for lambs
being $3.50. The sheep and lamb sit
nation is rapidly approaching the
famine stage, this weeks price record
being the highest for many months.
Hogs were active and 20 to 80 cents
higher than last week. The quality
was badly mixed. indicating that this
grade of stock Is about all In from
this state. Best hogs brought 1855;
pigs and light Workers.. $40 to $S.bo
per cwt.
