MARKET. FEDERAL-STATE
Movement of teady-to-cook whole birds
was light and typical of mid-week activity.

to ample and were in the longer position on
the larger sizes. Live supplies were mostly
moderate; weights continued to vary in a
full range of light to heavy. Processing
schedules were moderately heavy. Less
than trucklot asking prices were unchanged
at 51 to 65 cents. Trade sentiment
remained no better than steady. In the parts
complex, all items were generally noted as
at least adequate and inquiry was seasonal

Ttuckiot buying activity was mixed with
most traders unaggressive Offerings were
generally adequate, but often slow to clear
due to lack of strong buyer interest Retail
and distributive movement was abort mod
erate with scattered promotional activity
on cutlets attracting some additional con
sumer buying interest. The market tone
was unsettled as dealers were cautious as
interest began to shift towards traditional
holiday items for next week.
