MARKET. FEDERAL-STATE
Movement of ready-to-cook whole birds
wis seasonal slow to fair. Seller offerings
varied from well balanced to readily avail
able. Live supplies were moderate; weights
were irregularly light to heavy. Processing
schedules were reduced or cancelled at
some plants and were about moderate
overall. Less than trucklot asking prices
were unchanged at 58 to 72 cents. Trade
sentiment was barely steady. In the parts
complex, breast items were in ample supp
ly. Leg quarters were competitively priced
at several plants in an effort to stimulate
additional movement. Wi
