DELMARVA BROILER/FRYER
MARKET. FEDERAL-STATE
Movement of ready-to-cook whole birds
was generally noted as disappointingly
below expectations. Offerings were fully
sufficient to handle current requirements.
Live supplies were mostly moderate;
weights varied in a range of light to heavy.
Processing schedules were moderate to
heavy. Less than trucklot asking prices
were unchanged at 48 to 62 cents. Trade
sentiment was steady, but cautious. In the
parts complex, all items were fully suffi
cient for the limited buying interest
