The Detroit times., 1912-03-22
THURSDAYS LIVE
STOCK MARKET

All grades OF cattle were active and
hlgner on Thursday at the Detroit
STOCK yards. The run was fairly
large but everything was sold prompt
~ on arrival at prices that averaged
much higher than upon any preceding
market session this year A goodly
number of mature bplleehH-e efne-to
hand, bringing from $3.50 10 81 per
cwt. The gain in values ranged from
20 TO 80 cents per cwt. except for
common cows and bulls which were
probably not more than 10 cents
higher. Good mixers were in active
demand but common cows were hard
To sell. Veal calves wero more too
active but the range OF prices did u.
difler much from those OF la. Week;
top calves, $3.50.
The lamb trade opened this week
with the best selling for 1915. but
before the close values were 25 cents
on in sympathy with conditions in
other markets. IL would seem like
good time TO cash finished lambs.
Hogs made sensational gain this
week, the best selling for $3.50. Sci
lers had IL all their own way, from
start TO finish, and the close was just
as. strong as the opening. The gen
eral belief, among market experts is
that hogs are due To go considerable
higher before the limit is reached.
