Frozen Egg Report
Tuesday, December 21, 1993
Prices were edging higher under a cau
tious trade sentiment A difference of
opinion existed arid both buyers and sellers
were confused and unsure of what to do.
Trading was spotty. Raw materials were
currently adequate for further processors to
maintain their reduced holiday schedules.
Floor stocks were usually sufficient to cov
er dealers needs.

Chicken Parts
Wednesday, December 22, 1993
Trucklot buying interest was fairly light
for immediate delivery, fairly good for the
start of next week. Boneless skinless
breasts were irregularly distributed. Small
er volumes traded at 1.80 while larger vol
umes were offered at lower prices and slow
to clear. Line tun breasts were at least
adequate but most buyers limited receipts
to commitments only. Light volumes
traded at lower trending prices and the
undertone was unsettled. Dark meat items
cleared fairly well at current prices. Whole
wings were short of trade needs, prices
trended higher, and the undertone was fully
steady to firm.
