PARTS - PART I FEDERAL-STATE
Trucklot buying activity was seasonally
light as traders finished up their last minute
holiday transactions. Offerings were fully
sufficient with several dealers non
commital even as prices drop sharply.
Demand through retail and distributive
outlets was obviously geared towards trad
itional Thanksgiving holiday items. The
market tone was mostly weak and
unsettled on alt but wings.

DELMARVA BROILER/FRYER
MARKET. FEDERAL-STATE
Movement of ready-to-cook whole birds
was spotty at best. Seller offerings were
gfUgiyiie to closely cleared on the 2.5 to
3.5 pound sizes; readily available and slow
to clear on 4 pounders, live supplies were
at least moderate; weights were desirable
to heavy. Processing schedules were mod
erately heavy in advance of plant closings
during the upcoming holiday. Less than
truckiot asking prices were unchanged at
58 to 72 cents. Trade sentiment was steady
to weak. In the parts complex, wings varied
from well cleared to adequate. Other cuts,
particularly breasts items, were readily
available for a seasonally lackluster buying
interest.
