Broilers Mostly Steady to Firm
In Major Producing Areas This Week
The broiler market seems to
be gaming a little more stiength
after a steady drop over the past
two months
In the Delmarva area prices ol
18 5 and 18 6 cents a pound
were quoted in Tuesday’s trade,
and the auction at the Eastern
Shore Poultry Growers Exchange
reflected this strength
In most other areas of the
country, gains were lestncted to
about half a cent a pound, but
in all instances prices held steady
with those of last week and two
weeks ago
The Delmarva broiler-feed ra
tio held steady at 3 6 last week
Although the broiler average
diopped to 18 33 cents, feed prices
came down to $lO2 a ton fiom
the $lO5 a ton price quoted the
week before.
A year ago the latio was 4 7
with broilers averaging 2214
cents and feed being $9410 a
ton.
Here is how the broiler mar
ket shaped up in the maior pro
ducing aieas at the beginning
of this week
