Movement of ready-to-cook whole
broiler/fiyers was light to fair and general

adequate to ample and extra product was
difficult to place. Weights varied in a full
range, but were mostly desirable to light.
Processing schedules were heavy and oper
ations were planned for the weekend. Less
than trucklot asking prices wY.*9 I9at 49
to 60 cents. Trade sentiment was steady at
best. All parts were at least adequate.
Breast items were slow to clear at several
plants. Leg items were in better balance;
however, movement was below
expectations.

Chicken Parts
Wednesday, February 3, 1993
Trucklot buying interest was light but
the trade expects a fairly good weekend
and some improvement following the past
two bitter cold days. Supplies of boneless
skinless breasts were at least adequate and
some buyer resistance was noted at current
prices. The trade sentiment was barely
steady to weak. Line tun breasts were
available at several locations and offered to
very cautious buyers. Trading was reported
at lower prices and the undertone was
weak. Leg quarters were adequate for the
light to fair demand and the trade sentiment
was fully steady. Wings continued to
improve but trading was at steady prices.

The market tone wit fully steady
although underlying sentiment was cau
tious. Trading activity was generally lim
ited to fill-in needs. Costs of raw materials
were usually steady but expected to mov
ing into a more favorable position for
further processors. Floor stocks were
adequate with most breakers attempting to
limit inventory building at current price
levels.
