Market Comment: Prices were
slightly higher. Trading remained
light and unaggressive. Offerings
had tightened somewhat and were
adequate to occasionally short.

fair; supplies were more than
sufficient for buyers’ needs. Heavy
type offerings increased in
availability, and some bid prices
were noted at ten to ten and a half

dertone was unsettled with traders
closely watching developments in
egg markets.

Thursday, April 30,1987
Comment: Buying interest was
unproved and ranged from fair to
good; however, offerings were
available and adequate for the
increased call. The demand for
cutlets was good, and sales at 1.80
were lessening as strength was
starting to build price wise. Line
run breasts were clearing easily at
75 cents, and offerings appeared to
be adequate for immediate
shipments. Rib breasts were
irregular but overall were at least
adequate. Legs, leg quarters and
wings were moving better, but
additional product remained
available, and supplies were fully
adequate in many quarters.
Giblets were difficult to clear.
Breasts, skinned, boneless 1.80-
1.85.
Rib-on-breasts .80-.82.
Line one breasts .75.
Legs .S6-.37.
Leg quarters .25-.26
Wings .36-.57

Gizzards (hearts) .20-.25.
Today’s negotiated sales as of
