FIRST PRESBYTERIAN
No prayer meeting this week.
The Detroit times., 1913-08-15

In the first three days OF the present
week 10000 cattle have been receiv
ed at the western markets. nearly al
many as We're received in the entire
six days one Year ago. The same con
dition TO a certain extent holds good
In the hog market
Receipts have daily doubled since
the drought.
Live stock prices. naturally, are
slumping just now while the markets
are loaded with stock. But I'm spite OF
the fact that steers and hogs are cost
ing the packers less than at any time
Tor several months. they have an
nounced no reduction in the wholesale
price OF meats. The sharp increase
In meat prices ordered several weeks
ago remains in effect, and the house
wife has obtained no benefits because
OF the present abnormal conditions in
the market.
The drought. according to stock
men, will put hundreds OF thousands
OF dollars In the hands Of the pack
ers this winter because OF their abil-
ity TO buy now when cattle raisers are
at a disadvantage, and to set new
prices this winter when there Is "a
scarcity In the cattle receips.

Unevenness is still the rule in the

The outlook for western feeding

lambs If they were available. The
drouth has been felt less In Michi-
