Prices were unchanged. The market tone
was mostly steady to instances fully
steady. Demand remained mostly mod

and where improvement was noted for the

breakers were generally adequate, and
some plants planned reduced holiday sche

adequate for the unaggressive demand, and
the undertone was steady to weak, mostly
barely steady.

at best and centered mainly on limited sup
plies of yellow whole breasts. Supplies of

less breasts were in fairly good balance at
unchanged prices. Leg items were more
available than earlier and several dealers
noted heavy floor stocks and little interest
in additional offerings, particularly at cur
rent asking prices. Wings were also less
difficult to locale and at least adequate.
