Market
Wednesday, April 7,1993
Movement of ready-to-cook whole birds
was generally moderate to occasionally
better for the limited supplies of lighter
sizes. Supplies were adequate. Weights
were desirable to mostly heavy. Live sup
plies were moderate. Processing schedules
were heavy. Less than trucklot asking
prices were unchanged at 48 - 57 cents.
Trade sentiment was generally steady. In
the parts complex, demand for wings
improved for immediate, some interest in
leg quarters was noted for future ship
ments, and the balance of items were at
least steady.

Trucklot buying imereit war fair and
about u expected for mid-week. Supplier
of bonelen ikinlesi bieaiu were in fairly
good balance for immediate needs but
short of covering an active demand for next
week deliveries. Trading was reported at
higher prices and the undertone wu fully
steady. Line run breasts were adequate and
most product cleared the market at steady
prices. A little extra buying activity was
noted early this morning but not enough to
change the overall market
Dark meat items were well balanced.
Supplies of wings were tight, prices
trended higher, and some baying interest
wu not covered.

petitive. Raw materials were readily avail
able but processors were unaggtessive as
most did not want to build inventories.
Floor stocks were sufficient for current
needs.
