competitively priced offerings.

Comment: Trading was im
proved but the supplies of most
items was still in excess of the
demand. Cutlets were easily
available at today’s price levels,
and the demand was only fair.
Both line-run and rib breasts were
ample, and clearances were dif
ficult in many quarters. Legs and
leg quarters were fully adequate
for immediate needs, but
clearances were better and traders
have sensed a bottom on these
items. Wings remained relatively
tight and most sellers had no
problem in getting prices up one
cent. Livers were barely adequate
and stronger, while gizzards were
adequate.
