Market and Sales at
Detroit Yards

STOCK yards on Thursday was ue-
cidedly active number. ALI grades OF
cattle, except bulls, were 10 TO 20
cents higher and the demand for the
cheaper grades OF butchers cattle
made almost a runaway market III
this department The demand and
the supply, In the division of the
trade devoted to prime cattle, Is evil
IDENTIFY becoming much more evenly
balanced as the season advances, the
present outlook favoring somewhat
higher prices with the coming of the
month of June. Mich cows are dull
and slow under the present heavy
pressure on milk and butter. Veal
calves opened the week strong and
active with few calves selling Tor
$3.50, but at the close this kind could
be had for even money. The run Of
calves this week Is about the largest
ever received In this market IN one
week.
The weeks trade In clipped lambs
opened with a demand for a few
lambs at s7.25 to $40, but before
the close on Thursday, 81 per cwt.
brought about the best. Both dealers
and growers, who do not attend the
market personally, are In danger OF
being misled by market quotations.
Only fat sheep and lambs are In ac-
tive demand; the common kind are
dull and, In many cases, almost IN
salable. Grassy stock Ii not wanted
at this time. The spring lambs that
came to hand varied greatly In quail
lily: few extra springers sold at IS
per cwt but thin, grassy lambs were
hard to place for 81 per cwt.
The hog trade was q stubborn bat
tie between buyers and sellers with
the result that the best brought $6.10.
Pigs, $6.05 to 500 per cwt.
Receipts: Cattle, 1,044; calves, l.
