The Detroit times., 1915-12-03

The glut OF cattle and nogs con.
tinues In all markets, and values
are sinking lower and lower from
day TO day. There a:e signs OF
better things, however. although
the substance OF the improvement
Is slow in making it's appearance.
In eastern markets. a liberal supply
OF stock from nearby points has
served TO hold back shipments from
western markets. Absence OF ship
ping demand means dull trade In
the west. and when the west Is dull
the whole country soon goes to the
same basis. Early this week, con-
ditions looked batter in the east
and orders were fled with western
brokers. Another record-6reaking
run has made its appearance in that
section. and conditions are bacS
where they were at the close %
last week.
The entire fresh meat trade has
been revised downward as result
OF recent record-breaking receipts
of hogs and cattle which have
made II possible for Who'll, salers to
reduce carcass cost Immense runs
OF pigs and other young hogs OF
Hight average weight AaYe made IN
possible for butchers TO sell pork
and all Of It's fresh bi,products very
low. The result rs that the con
of fresh pork has in.
creased rapidly, and the call for
fresh beef and mutton has fallen
on in exactly the same proportion.
In the cattle division of the mar.
ket, conditions are rapidly undergo
ing change. and the ultimate re-
suit Is sure TO make fer higher
values all along the line, AS far
