Frozen Eggs
Jan. 30, 1990
Prices edged lower with whole eggs in
the most competiuve situation. Trading
activity improved as offerings were more
m hne with end users budgets. Increased
offenngs of raw materials at attractive
pnce levels encouraged further processors
m their aggressiveness. Floor stocks were
sufficient and expected to build as breakers
ran full schedules. The recent government
purchase of 4,122,000 pounds of pasteur
ized frozen whole eggs in S-pounds cartons
has also helped create a positive
atmosphere.

Fryer
Jan. 31, 1990
Movement of ready-to-cook whole
fryers was very light and disappomtmg.
Supplies of lighter weight fryers were fully
adequate and being pushed to clear, 3
pound and over sizes were adequate. Less
than trucklot asking prices were
unchanged to lower at 51-67 cents. Live
supplies were adequate with average live
weights in a range of light to desirable.
Processing schedules were heavy. The
trade sentiment was barely steady. In the
parts complex, supplies of legs and leg
quarters were in good balance with buyer
needs, cutlets were fully adequate, whole
breasts were about adequate, and wings
ranged adequate to ample.

The market tone was generally steady at
best Demand for product, either cartoned
or loose was usually no better than fair.
Retail promotional activity was light but
expected to increase for the first of the
month. Supplies were in good balance and
easily satisfied current trade requirements.
Breakers had sufficient floor stocks to
maintain desired and often full running
schedules
