Market Comment; Prices were
higher op the large size; un
changed on mediums. Distributive
movement was moderate to good,
and traders were in the midst of
shipping ahead of normal
schedules due to downtime for the
holiday. Graded supplies of large
and extra large were in good
balance to mostly cleared.
Mediums were irregularly
balanced but ample overall and
often noted as difficult to clear.
Inquiry for gradable receipts was
centered no packs yielding large
and heavier weight sizes. Breaker
interest was spotty..

volume buyers, consumer grades

Delmarva Poultry
Wednesday, July 2,1986
Market Comment: Movement of
ready to cook whole birds was
brisk in most quarters. Offerings
ranged adequate to short. In ad
dition to extra product moving for
the upcoming holiday, shipping
schedules were being advanced.
Inquiry for legs, wings and leg
quarters remained active, and
clearances were easy at most
plants. Demand in the breast
complex was irregular but usually
reflected improvement. Cutlets
were easier to move than past
several days while breasts
remained under pressure. Less
than trucklot asking prices were
one cent higher at 67-73 cents. Live
supplies were moderate to light.
Weights were generally light to
desirable. The undertone was firm
