Philadelphia Eggs
Thursday, December 22
Report supplied by USDA
MARKET COMMENT: Prices
unchanged to higher. Cartoned egg
orders range from good to very
good. Movement is bride as traders
actively try to fill retail outlets.
Floor stocks of large are barely
adequate to short. Buying interest
is active for class l’s and 2’s and
graded loose large. However, most
inquiry is going unfilled due to the
lack of offerings. Also the
closeness of the holidays requires
that products be available from
nearby areas for more prompt
shipment. Most traders are
meeting orders but no more than
that on mediums or extra large.
Undertone firm.

Delmarva Poultry
Thursday, December 22
Report supplied by USDA
Market Comment: RTC
movement on whole birds is good
in most quarters, and current
production is either well-cleared or
clearing satisfactorily. Demand
for parts remains strong, and
supplies are tight on most items.
Overall slaughter is light as some
plants are not operating, and
others have reduced their kill for
today. Tomorrow, the majority of
plants are closed, and those that
are running are not operating full.
Live supplies are adequate.
Weights are light to desirable.
Undertone firm.
Today’s L.T.L. asking prices are
1 cent higher on U.S. Grade A at
.59-.6S cents.
Estimated slaughter of broiler
fryers in Delmarva (000).
Estimated 12/22 1,461; Actual
12/15 1,461; Actual 12/20 1,822;
Average Weights 12/20 4.08;

Report supplied by USDA
Market Comment: Prices
generally unchanged. Offerings of
live birds are limited, causing
most plants to run much reduced
slaughter schedules. Canner pack
demand is lighter; however,
higher egg and broiler values do
little to alleviate the current values
of both live and canner fowl.
