MARKET.

Movement of ready-to-cook whole birds
was fairly good and was sufficient to keep
the bulk of seller offerings cleared satisfac
torily. Live supplies were mostly mod
erate; weights were mixed in a full range of
light to heavy. Processing schedules con
tinued to reflect some plants curtailing
operations and were moderate in total. Less
than trucklot asking prices were 1 cent
higher at 52 to 64 cents. Trade sentiment
was firm. Bone-in breasts and thighs were
adequate to welt cleared. Other items were
at least adequate with boneless skinless
breasts in the belter balance. ACTUAL
