Market and Sales at
Detroit Yards


The demand for fat steers was very
dull and sluggish at the Detroit stock
yards on Thursday but all other
grades OF killing cattle were fairly
active. Medium-priced butchers ac-
tie and good fat cows were In active
demand at unchanged values. Mich
cows were dull and quiet Veal calves
were badly wanted at prices averaging
about so cents per cwt. above those
paid last week. A goodly number OF
fairly good calves sold for 1926 per
cwt.
Sheep and lambs were unevenly.
20 to so cents higher than last week.
a few extra fine clipped lambs selling
for 1915 per cwt. A fair number or
spring lambs came to hand but the
quality made quotations look low; the
range was 81 to $3.50 per cwt. A de-
cided Improvement In the demand for
wool, which has developed during the
past week. Is largely responsible for
the Improvement In prices for live
stock.
Sellers held out for higher prices
In the hog department but buyers re-
fused to meet the views OF the selling
contingent and a goodly part OF the
arrivals went over unsold. A few ex-
ira fine hogs sold for $500. Several
all that one OF the leading packing
firms were willing to pay.
