Market and Sales at
Detroit Yards

A light run of cattle made their
appearance at the Detroit stock yards
ON Thursday, and prices were 20 to
80 cents higher for all but the best,
which were steady with last week.
The demand for tidy cattle, selling
between $3.50 and $3.50, was particu-
larly pressing, not nearly enough OF
this kind coming to hand to meet the
needs OF the trade. Mich cows were
firm at S25 to sos each. Veal calves
were % cents per cwt. higher than
last week, the best selling for 1913
per cwt.
The opening trade in the sheep and
lamb department was 10 to 10 cents
higher than last week, but at the
close this gain was lost on all except
best medium-weight lambs, which
held steady. Best lambs 1915 to
$3.50. The general outlook for lambs
is somewhat improved.
Hogs were dull at last weeks aver
age prices. Heavy hogs are selling
badly; hogs averaging above $3.50,
going as low as $40, while pigs sold
for $3.50. Medium-weight hogs, us
TO 200, brought s7.65 to $z-75 per cwt.
