Some sellers were attributing improvement to buying in advance of a rapidly ap proaching hurricane. Interest in parts centered on a good call for lime-run breast. Other items met a fair to generally improved call. The cutlets were slow to clear at some points. Live supplies were generally adequate. Weights were irregular but mostly desirable to light. Slaughter schedules were moderately heavy today with most plants noting a good possiblity as down-time tomorrow due to the storm. The undertone was steady to fully steady. Today’s L.T.L. asking prices were unchanged on U.S. Grade A at 45-52 cents. Estimated slaughter of broiler fryers in Delmarva (000). Estimated 9/26 1,999,000; Actual 9/191,984,000.
