Market Comment: Movement on
ready to cook whole birds was good
with most plants unable to com

were at least adequate and weights
were still heavier than desired at
most plants. Undertone was fully
steady.
Today’s L.T.L. asking prices are
1 cent higher on U.S. Grade A at 53-
59 cents.
Estimated slaughter of broiler
fryers in Delmarva (000).

1/3 2,039,000; Actual 1/8 2,033,000;
