Northeast Chicken Parts Thursday, May 14,1987 Comment; Trading was light to fair and unaggressive on most items. Cutlet availability was increasing, and most dealers had no problem in booking additional product at 1.85 with some lots even noted below this level. Line-run breasts were easily available, but interest was lacking even at the lower prices. Rib breasts were fully adequate to ample, and clearances were a struggle. Legs were in balance and clearing reasonably well at 37 to 38 cents. Leg quarters have shown the most improvement, and while oc casional sales were noted at 26 cents, buyers were generally more than willing to pay 27-28 cents and have started to reach out and pay 29 cents on occasion. The demand for wings was fairly good, and supplies were well-cleared. Breasts, skinned, boneless 1.85. Rib-on-breasts .S3-.85. Line run breasts .78-.80. Legs.37-.38. Leg quarters .27-.28.

Pressuring the futures today was the rejection of the USDA to the Soviet’s latest offer for bonus wheat as well as news of high yields in Illinois on soft red winter wheat. Also pressuring nearby’s was the fear of increased movement on CCC’s reduction of daily wheat PIK market rates. Sharp losses in the May option of 4 cents as opposed to 1/2 cent in the July were centered around long liquidation prior to last trading day on Tuesday. Hackettstown Poultry & Egg Hackettstown, N. J.
