LIVE HENS
Prices on light hens ranged
unchanged to Vic lower. De
mand was relatively dull for
ample supplies in New Jersey,
but closely held for a fair reg
ular interest in Pa. Heavy hens
were in very limited supply in
both Pa. & N.J., but needs
readily met by out-of-state pur
chase#. Prices paid at farm;
Light Hens 4-8. mostly sVfe-6;
Heavy Hens 11c.
