Tracklot buying interest was light and
unaggressive on all items except whole
breasts which were short of an irregular
demand. Cutlets were fully adequate at cur
rent price levels as buyers generally limited
receipts to an as needed basis. Legs and leg
quaneres continued to increase in availa
bility and trading prices edged lower.
Wings were fully adequate with the bulk of
sales at unchanged prices. Livers were ful
ly adequate while gizzards were in good
overall balance.
