Tracklot buying interest was light and
unaggressive. Boneless skinless breasts
remained in fairly good balance for an irre
gular call. Whole breasts continued to
increase in availability and supplies were
generally adequate at current higher price
levels. Legs, leg quarters and thighs were
fully adequate to ample and best interest
centered on leg quarters for retail ad activi
ty. Drums were about adequate and in
closest balance. Wings ranged balanced to
available depending on shipper but in
excess overall.
