Lot-average prices remained
unchanged at 16.73 cents per
lb. Live supply adequate on
two and three pound birds, but
short on heavier weights due
to hot weather reducing
growth rate.
Ready-to-cook demand unset
tled, ranging from slow to fair,
with both dealers and proces
sors cautious.
Very few advance orders
noted for next week. Prices
sharply lower with weak un
dertone.
Estimated slaughter for Fri
day and Saturday, 908,000
head, compared to 1,032,000
head last weekend.
In the 24 hours preceding
market close on Friday, broil
eis and fryers at farm prices
ranged from 16 0-17 6 cents,
on reported sales totaling 1,-
032,100 head.
