Philadelphia Eggs
Thursday, March 13,1986
Report Supplied by USDA
Market Comment: Prices
continued to work higher under
active inquiry for gradable stocks.
However, resistance was
developing in some quarters where
packers were content to work with
current receipts and buy more if
the need arose later. Cartoned egg
demand was irregular but
moderate for the most part, and
orders were increasing in spots.
Graded supplies were in-balance to
short and confidently held on the
large and extra large sizes;
mediums were generally more
available. Additional extra large
sizes; mediums were generally
more available. Additional retail
featuring was planned for next
week mainly on large and in some
instances, mediums.

Delmarva Poultry
Thursday, Mar. IS, 1986
Market Comment: The call for
ready to cook whole birds was
slow, and premiums were being
altered to effect satisfactory
clearances in some quarters.
Demand for parts was good for
tight supplies of cutlets and breast
meat. Wings continued to clear
well while the overall call on leg
meat was insufficient to keep
stocks from building.
live supplies were adequate to
fully adequate. Weights were
desirable to lighter than desired,
and some plants were trimming
operations as a result.
Slaughter schedules were
moderate. The undertone was
barely steady.
Today’s L.T.L. asking prices
were generally unchanged on U.S.
