DECEMBER 27, 1995
Movement of ready-to-cook whole birdi
remained fairly good. Offeringi were
adequate to cloeely cleared. Live tuppliei
were moderate, initances light; weights
varied in a full range of light to heavy.
Slaughter schedules remained very heavy.
Less than ttucklot asking prices were
unchanged at 53 to 64 cents. Trade senti
ment was fully steady to firm. In the pans
complex, wings were short of an active
demand. Various breast cuts and leg items
were at least adequate for immediate
needs.

Tiucklot baying interest w»« light and
selective. Inquiry was active for tight sup
plies of wings. Various breasts cuts and leg
items were fully sufficient. Retail and dis
tributive movement was mostly light to
fair, but was expected to increase late week
for first of the month business and scat
tered retail ads. Trade sentiment was firm
on wings; improved, but still unsettled on
the balance.
