Comment: Trading was active
for prompt shipments. Production
from Delmarva was still in
sufficient to fill current orders;
however, offerings from the South
were available if desired. Cutlets
were well-cleared, and additional
product was very difficult to find.
Rib breasts and wings were tight.
Line-one breasts were irregular as
product from the shore was vir
tually nil, but some product was
available elsewhere. Legs and leg
quarters were short and wanted
overall.
