Report
Tuesday, June 8, 1993
Prices were unchanged Trade sentiment
was steady and continued cautious. Trad
ing activity was spotty and usually limited
to fill in needs. Raw materials were gener
ally available but breakers were hesitant to
build high priced inventories and worked
accordingly. Boor stocks were adequate to
handle current buyer interest.

Delmarva
Broiler/Fryer
Market
Wednesday, June 9, 1993
Movement of ready-to-cook whole birds
was about moderate and sufficient to keep
offerings in fairly good balance, particular
ly on 3 pound and smaller sizes. Over 3
pound sizes were fully adequate but clear
ing. Live supplies were moderate; weights
were heavier than desired at most plants.
Processing schedules were heavy. Less
than trocklot asking prices were unchanged
at 52 to 63 cents. Trade sentiment was
steady. In the part complex, wings
remained in active demand, and supplies
were firmly held. Leg quarters were avail
able and difficult to place. Breast items
were adequate, instances ample and slow
to clear on bone-in.

National
Egg Market
Wednesday, June 9, 1993
NATIONAL EGG MARKET - AT A
GLANCE: Prices for extra large and large
trended unchanged to higher in the Mid-
Atlantic region; otherwise, prices were
unchanged. Hie trade sentiment was gen
erally steady. Movement of cartoned eggs
into retail channels was rated as moderate
in all reporting areas. Supplies were ample
on the West Coast, adequate elsewhere
around the country. Inthe Central States,
prices for nest run breaking stock trended
lower, checks and undergrades were
unchanged. Trading was light to moderate.
Offerings were adequate to instances fully
adequate. The undertone was cautiously
steady. In the Southeast, trading in light
hens was too thin to report prices. Move
ment off the farms covered processing
plant schedules. Demand was only fair and
unaggressive. The undertone was steady.
Eastern PA &
NJ Poultry Report
Tuesday, June 8, 1993
Prices about unchanged on light type
fowl but trading is too few to report on
heavy hens. Demand is only fair at best for
ample offerings of leghorns and most pro
cessing plants are already booked through
the month. Undertone steady at best.
