Report supplied by USDA
MARKET COMMENT: Ready to
cook movement on whole birds is
slow and disappointing. Call for
parts is not much better and prices
are negotiable as plants try to keep
supplies from building up.
Slaughter schedules are reduced in
most quarters today with some
down time and further reductions

Philadelphia Eggs
Thursday, March 24
Report supplied by USDA
MARKET COMMENT: Prices
unchanged, while movement has
improved overall, orders remain
mixed. Craters indicate some
buyers are willing to take on ad
ditional inventory and are ordering
fairly heavy, while others are
cautious and orders have shown
only slight increases. Jumbos are
' barely adequate. Large and extra
large are in heavy supply* but
regarded as imbalanced with
projected needs. Medium are
irregular and longs and shorts are
generally balanced locally. Smalls
are tight and wanted with some
interest spilling over to mediums
as smalls are found only to limited
degree in some areas of the mid
west. Some dealers note increased
offerings of heavy weight nest runs
from other production areas.
Undertone steady.
