A4-Lancaster Faming, Saturday, July 26,1986 Delmarva Poultry Thursday, July 24,1986 Market Comment: Demand for ready to cook whole birds con tinued disappointing overall. However, some spot improvement was nftted. Offerings ranged adequate to readily available. Demand for legs and leg quarters continued to build at lower tren ding prices while wings were again discounted to effect clearances. Cutlets were generally well cleared at unchanged prices while breasts were irregularly available and usually adequate. Less than trucklot asking prices were un changed to two cents lower at 66-72 cents. Some sales were as low as 64 cents. Live supplies were moderate to occasionally light. Rates were increasing in spots but still remained light to desirable. Slaughter schedules were reduced sharply and very light in total. The undertone was steady to weak.

' Eastern PA and NJ Poultry Wednesday, July 23,1986 Report Supplied by USDA Market Comment: Prices were higher. Offerings continued to tighten and were short to adequate. Schedules were cur tailed at most operations due in part to both lack of product and lack of demand for processed meat. Counter-demand was just fair at best, and sellers were at tempting to adjust asking prices to reflect the higher cost of spent hens. The undertone was fully steady to firm.

Philadelphia Eggs Thursday, July 24,1986 Report Supplied by USDA Market Comment: Prices were again higher on all sizes. Trade sentiment continued at least fully steady, but caution had developed in some quarters. Movement was light to good on the large and heavier weight sizes. Supplies of large were in good balance. Extra large were no more than adequate, and some - packers were shorting orders or substituting with large. Mediums were adequate to ample, and clearances to retail features and breaking channels were helping reduce overall availability. Jumbos were seasonally short, and smalls were being offered to breakers.

One theory is that a sub stance called tryptophan, found in milk, helps a person relax. Another theory is that cholecystokinin, another chemical found in milk, has sedative qualities.
