Market and Sales at
Detroit Yards

Prime fat cattle were 10 to Is cents
lower at the Detroit stock yards on
Thursday but all other kinds were ac-
tive at last weeks prices. The
weather was against the trade but the
run, which was rather large. was
promptly taken. The outlook promises
an easy market on heavy cattle for
the next 80 days and a strong demand
tor all grades Of feeding cattle; the
fact that all classes OF buyers want
cattle of the feding type makes a
strong spring trade In this department
certain. Mich cows were active with
the best selling for $50. Veal calves
were strong, the best bringing S9.7b
per cwt
Sheep and lambs were active and
firm with last week, top lambs sell-
ing for $5.75. The outlook favors an
active demand for handy weight
lambs at slightly higher prices than
those prevailing at the present time.
Hogs were fairly active at prices lO
to 20 cents lower than those paid last
week. Prime mediums, $3.50 to Si,oo.
Good pigs, $7.75.
