Report
Tuesday, January 10,1989
Prices trended lower on most items as
costs for raw materials dropped. Breakers
continued to bid lower for shell product.
Schedules were generally back to normal,
but buyers remained cautious and
attempted to limit purchases to fill-in
needs. Floor stocks were usually in good
balance with needs.
