<dd>"USDA photographs showing unloading, sorting, and auctioning of livestock at a Maryland market. This market was built in 1954. The livestock to be auctioned is brought by truck, principally from Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the Carolinas. Like other eastern markets, this is a "covered" or "roofed" market, as contrasted with the "open" markets in the West. The livestock sold is bought by farmers, packers, and others. These photographs were taken for the Agricultural Marketing Service."</dd>
