Demand for graded product was fairly good for the most part, but end of the week .orders were tending to reflect lesser needs at the retail level in some quarters. Retail featuring was light but was adding to movement in some instances. Floor stocks remained in irregular balance but were generally adequate or available on all the jumbos. Ungraded offerings remained light and were often noted as confidently held, par ticularly on class grade-outs of large and heavier weight size.
