MARKET. FEDERAL-STATE
Movement of ready-to-cook whole birds
was often noted as stagnant Seller offer
ings were in a range of adequate to readily
available and were in the closer balance on
the under 3 pound sizes. Heavier weights,
particularly 4 pound sizes were difficult to
place. Live supplies were at least mod
erate; weights were mostly heavy. Less
than trucklot asking prices were unchanged
at 58 to 72 cents. Trade sentiment was
barely steady to weak. In the parts com
plex, volumes and items available varied
from plant to plant, but were fully suffi
cient to handle the generally light and spot
ty buying interest

NATIONAL EGG MARKET - AT A
GLANCE
Prices remained unchanged. The market
tone was generally steady. Demand cov
ered the full range of light to good, mostly
light to moderate, and was better where
items were featured. Supplies were adequ
ate to fully adequate, and mediums were in
the longest position. Breaking stock sup
plies were generally adequate for the light
to fair demand. Offerings of light type hens
were adequitd.
