Thursdays Livestock Market
Trade was very duh at the Detroit

Trade was very dull at the Detroit
stock yards on Thursday and neither
buyers nor sellers seemed 10 be salts
fed with the days business. Yard
regulations were extremely strict. buy
ers not being allowed TO drive stock
over the city streets.
The supply of cattle was small. but
plenty enough for the demand. Extra
fine steers and heifers sold well, but
all OF the common grades were dull
and slow at values which have ruled
the trade for the last fortnight. Veal
calves were active, the best selling
for SO per cwt
A fairly liberal run of sheep and
lambs came TO hand and a good clear
ance was made. Prime lambs $3.50 TO
s7.75; common to good lambs So to
81: common to good sheep 81 TO IS
per cwt.
The run OF hogs was smaller than
was looked for and prices averaged
about i cents below last weeks clos
ing trade. IL looked as IL the packers
had played the game a trifle too fine
by scaling down prices, early In the
week. Country shippers, when they
received their market report on Mon
day, decided evidently that Detroit
was little too much out of line and
changed their plans. All grades $685..
