Market Comment; Prices were
again unchanged to one cent
higher on large sizes; unchanged
on mediums. Local sentiment wa«
cautious and mostly steady to tully
steady; however, gradable stocks,
particularly class ones were in
firm hands and higher prices were
being paid. Movement of both
cartoned and loose egg was
generally light to fair, and supplies
of all sizes were fully sufficient to
handle current trade needs.
Mediums were generally in
heaviest supply. Pre-Easter
demand had surfaced in spots.
Elsewhere, traders noted disap
pointing movement was causing
supplies to build and little need to
start searching for additional
stocks as yet.

Delmarva Poultry
Thursday, Feb. 27,1986
Market Comment: Demand for
ready to cook whole birds was
moderatr to good, and offerings
were in good balance overall.
Demand for parts continued mixed
although a bit lighter in total. Leg
and leg quarter interest was
tapering in some spots, but
clearances were generally
maintained. Wings moved to a fair
call while clearances of breasts
were somewhat irregular but
usually improved. Cutlets were
available and negotiable in some
quarters.
Live supplies were adequate.
Weights remained in a full range of
light to heavy. Slaughter schedules
were moderately heavy. The
undertone was fully steady to firm.
Today’s L.T.L. asking prices
were unchanged on U.S. Grade A
at .49-.56 cents.
