Poultry Wednesday, August 28 Report supplied by USDA Market Comment: Prices relatively unchanged for both late week and early next week trading. Seller offerings of fair volume for light and cautious buyer interest. Some hens picked up locally by midwestern concerns at 17.50 cents at farm. Some broiler fryer receipts continue to be used in lieu of spent hens, but higher trending broiler- prices were expected to eliminate this practice. Finished product sales were sluggish for the most part. Prices Paid at Farm: Light Type Hens: .15-.16M;, mostly .15-.15%. F. 0.8. Plant: .18-.18 3 4, mostly .18.
