A4-Uncastur Fannins, Saturday, November 1,1986 Delmarva Poultry Thursday, Oct. 30,1986 Market Comment; movement of ready to cook whole birds was a bit disappointing in some quarters but generally noted as sufficient to keep offerings clearing satisfac torily. Supplies of cutlets and rib breasts were in good overall balance, and prices were somewhat steadier today. Linerun breasts were in closest balance. Wings continued to clear well while leg meat was at least adequate for prompt delivery. Less than truck lot asking prices were unchanged at 56 to 62 cents. Live supplies were moderate to occasionally moderately heavy. Weights con tinued mixed in a full range. Slaughter schedules were just moderate with a few plants noting down-time on Friday. The un dertone was about steady. Estimated slaughter of broiler fryers in Delmarva; Estimated 10/30 1,852,000; Ac tual 10/231,747,000. Actual 10/281,852,000, Average Weights 10/28 4.45, 10/214.44.

Trade sentiment was at least fully steady at most points. Cartoned movement was mixed but generally good, particularly where retail featuring was planned or in progress. Some orders were noted as better as buyers took additional product for the upcoming first of the month period earlier than normal in an effort to stay ahead of advancing prices. Breaker interest remained quite active, and some sellers viewed movement as gradable offering to breakers as tightening available supplies for consumer use. Farm offerings were generally light and often limited to small volumes. Graded stocks were in good balance to closely cleared.
