Trading was light and selectve overall.
Cutlets were in fairly good balance as a
light to occasionally fair demand keeps pro
duct clearing. Breasts were starting to show
up and this additional product was difficult
to clear. The call for legs and leg quarters
was insufficient to keep these items from
backing up. Wings were the best movers
but the overall supply had increased slight
ly. Livers were adequate, while gizzards
were tight and orders were difficult to fill.
