The maiket lone was barely steady to
weak. Trading was light and usually cen
tered on fill-in needs. Advance inquuy was
fair but processors were cauuous as buyers
continued to bid lower. Raw materials
were readily available but costs were still
higher than most wanted to pay. Floor
slocks were sufficient for current trade
requirements.

Wednesday, December 9, 1992
Movement of ready-to-cook whole birds
was sluggish. Seller, offerings remained m
limited supply on under 3 pound sizes, but
were readily available and slow to clear on
heavier weights. Live supplies were mod
erate to heavy. Weights were desirable to
heavy and declining at tome plants.
Slaughter schedules increased and were
heavy. Some plants planned to reduce
schedules further this week and tome next
week. Lets than trucklot asking prices
were unchanged to I cent lower at 48 to 58
cents. Trade sentiment was weak. Wings
were in best balance. Other items were
irregularly distributed, but more than suffi
cient for immediate trade needs.

Trucklot buying interest continued quite
irregular. Supplies of boneless skinless
breasts for retail needs were about adequ
ate for the light demand; however, some
buyer inquiries for late week and for next
week deliveries went unfilled Prices were
reported in a wide range but the undertone
was steadier than early week Line run
breasts were less freely offered than prior
day but asking prices and trading levels
trended lower. Dark meat items were about
adequate for current demand and trading
was reported at steady prices
Wings were in close balance with buyer
needs, trading was at unchanged prices and
the undertone was firm.
