Prices were unchanged to lower. Trad
ing was spotty and usually Ell-in. Buyers
were cautious and although inquiring, most
were not ready to make commitments. Raw
materials were readily available but further
processors worked limited schedules as
they attempted to fill orders without build
ing inventories.

Delmarva Broiler
Fryer Report
Wednesday, April 4, 1990
Movement of ready-to-cook whole
flyers was generally fair and about as
expected for a Wednesday. Supplies were
adequate for current needs. Less than
trucklot asking prices were steady at SS-64
cents. Live supplies were adequate with
average live weights in a desirable range.
Processor schedules were moderately
heavy. The trade sentiment was generally
steady. In the parts complex, supplies of
whole breasts were in close balance, cutlets
were at least adequate, dark meat items
were fully adequate for the sluggish buyer
interest, and wings were about adequate
but improved buyer inquiries were noted.
