Compared with Wednesday
Available supplies of fresh meats
small in sales coolers throughout
the New York area. Demand
however narrow throughout with
all buyers for various channels of
outlet showing little or no interest
particularly for replenishment of
meats at retail level In view of
poor movement at wholesale it
seems imminent that clearance
will be poor and current weeks
