COMMENT: TRADING ACTIVITY
WAS LIGHT AND UNAGGRESSIVE IN
TOTAL. CUTLETS WERE FULLY
ADEQUATE, AND CLEARANCES
WERE STILL A PROBLEM IN A FEW
QUARTERS. BREASTS WERE AMPLE.
AND DISCOUNTING STILL PER
SISTED IN AN EFFORT TO MOVE
ADDITIONAL PRODUCT. LEGS AND
LEG QUARTERS HAVE RESURFACED
AND THE DEMAND HAS FAILED TO
CLEAR CURRENT PRODUCTION.
WINGS WERE FULLY ADEQUATE,
BUT THE DEMAND WAS AT LEAST
FAIR.
BREASTS, SKINNED. BONELESS
1.65-1.70.
RIB-ON-BREASTS .73-.75.
LINE RUN BREASTS .70.
LEGS .27-28.
LEG QUARTERS .21-.22.
WINGS .3S-.39.
