Line one run breasts were irregular but generally adequate; however, sellers were reluctant to book at 88 cents but buyers were just as reluctant to pay any higher prices. Rib breasts were clearing easily in most quarters at current price levels. Legs and leg quarters were at least adequate if dealers were willing to pay the higher prices, but many were passing as they have suf ficient sotck on hand due to previous committments.
