The Detroit times., 1910-05-14
Thursdays Live Stock
Market and Sales at
Detroit Yards

A complete reversal OF market con-
ditions In the cattle department was
the leading feature OF the trade at the
Detroit stock yards on Thursday,
only one-fifth OF last weeks receipts
came TO hand and prices were 40 10
so cents higher or on level with
those paid two weeks ago. In some
cases the gain was even, more. one or
two bands of fancy cattle selling above
81 that only brought $3.50 to $3.50 last
week Everything was taken at an
early hour while last week the trade
dragged all day and buyers had to bag
sellers to go and look at their cattle.
More cattle are looked for next week
and lower prices.
Mich cows were steady at S25 10 $50
each: veal calves were active ana
steady, best calves selling for IS per
cwt.
The sheep and lamb trade was an
even deal with last week, best lambs
selling for $3.50 TO $3.50. The aver
age quality was decidedly common;
all extra fine bunch of medium weight
would have brought trifie more than
quotations.
Hogs were In heavy supply and the
quality was much better than usual.
The price for everything was 1855
The outlook favors large runs and
lower prices In this department dur
ing the next fortnight.
