Detroit enjoys the distinction OF
being the only large American city
In which the smaller Wholesale butch.
er OF moderate means continues to op
crate. In other cities. especially
those I'm which no live stock markets
are located. the smaller dealers have
been driven out OF business by the
ruinous competitive methods used
against them by the big Chicago out
fits. In Detroit. the splendid compoti-
tive fight made for business BY these
smaller concerns has prevented the
monopoly in the handling OF fresh
dressed meats. These men could
never have continued In the business
until now had they not had access to
a local market where they could. near
ly every week In the year. secure the
live stock necessary to carry on their
killing operations. The citizens OF
Detroit will surely serve their own
best Interests II they do everything
in their power 10 encourage and pro-
mote the maintenance OF a permanent
live stock market at this point.
Since the fire, reports have been
circulated TO the effect that the yards
would probably not be rebuilt on the
present site, near the intersection OF
Dix and Artillery-aves,. but would be
removed to Il location near Dearborn.
The men, locally in charge OF the en-
terprise, are not yet prepared to an

vice possible In view OF the difficulties
under which the work must be car
ried forward.
That live cattle and hogs have been
selling abnormally high. OF late.
seems to be convincingly proven by
the recent course OF the market FOR
both of these commodities. The re-
cent break In cattle values was EVIL
IDENTIFY precipitated by tariff scare.
Statements In current market reports
to the effect that cattle were too high
In this country to admit OF exporta-
ton have driven thoughtful minds to
the conclusion that with the lowering
OF the duty, cattle would be imported
and values would inevitably decline.
The hog market does not always
follow the cattle trade but, on &C.
casions like the present, certain
sympathetic action takes place and
drop In one department causes a
decline In the other. There Is good
reason to believe, however; that hogs
will regain much of the present loss
in price because Of the extremely
small stocks Of all kinds Of cured
meats and lard In the big storehouses
OF the country. The nrmness which
the special speculative provision
trade has shown during the last
month, notwithstanding the break In
live hog values, would seem TO favor
this conclusion. II Is reported that
