Delmarva
Broiler/Fryer Market
Wednesday, March 23, 1994
Movement of ready-to-cook whole birds
was slow to fair and insufficient to clear
current offerings. Live supplies were mod
erate to heavy. Weights were mostly desir- -
able to heavy. Processing schedules
remained very heavy; however, several
plants were planning reduced operations in
advance of the upcoming Easier holiday.
Less than trucklot asking prices were
unchanged at SI to 63 cents, but most sell
ers were willing to negotiate to stimulate
additional movement. Trade sentiment was
weak. In the parts complex, supplies were
generally noted as fully adequate or avail
able, and slow in clearing.

Truckle* buying interest was' irregular
and ranged very light to fair. Supplies of
boneless skinless breasts with tenders were
at least adequate.
Most trading was reported at prices that
reflea a little weakness with buyers trying
to talk the market lower for late week.
However, the trade sentiment is generally
steady. Lute tun breasts ate ample to bur
densome. New trades were at lower prices
and additional product was offered. Buyers
were in the market looking for product to
ship early next week. Dark meat items
were available and slow to clear but prices
were unchanged. Wings were in fairly
good shape but demand was light

NATIONAL EGG MARKET-AT A
GLANCE: Prices were unchanged. The
market tone was mostly steady. Demand
was fair to good, with holiday purchasing
improved or expected to improve at the end
of the week. Supplies were adequate to
ample or available, and heavy floor stocks
were maintained for the holidays. Breaking
stock prices trended lower in the Central
States region, and supplies were adequate
for the unaggressive demand. Light type
hen supplies were adequate to ample for
the light to moderate demand, and the trade
sentiment was steady at best.
