Thursdays Live Stock
Market and Sales at
Detroit Yards

Cattle were % cents lower at the
Detroit stock yards on thursday, but
the trade was decidedly active al the
decline; 1t was simply placing tho
market back on the same basis that
Ii occupied before the lean holiday
week when only one.half enough
cattle came TO hand 10 meet the de-
mand. Mich COWS were active, and
veal calves were steady with lass
week Top calves brought So.
On Wednesday, sheep and lambs
were 20 cents higher than the aver
age or last weeks trade. but the trade
eased of in this department. and the
close was about steady with that of
last week. ON Wednesday $6.35 was
high at the close $6.l5 was the best
that could be done for the same kind.
Hogs were 20 TO 80 cents lower than
last week. the best bringing 1915.
The demand for pigs and tidy block
hogs Is becoming more imperative as
the season advances and heavy hogs
are dull and slow sale.
