Tmcklot buying interest was irregular.
Supplies of boneless skinless breasts were
fully adequate for a very light retail
demand. Pnces trended lower. Line run
breasts were available but buyers limited
receipts to immediate needs and wait for
the market to develop. Shipper asking
prices trended lower but some buyers bid
even lower Wings were available and slow
to clear at current prices. Yellow skin leg
quarters and thighs were in good balance
with a fair demand and some buyer inquir
ies for next week deliveries were reported.
Other items were adequate at steady prices.

Trading levels were about unchanged to
slightly higher on light type fowl and sales
too few to report prices on heavy hens.
Offerings of lights were short to about in
balance with needs while heavy hen availa
bility remained limited. Demand was irre
gular ranging moderate to good. Some
slaughter schedules will be reduced next
week for Jewish holiday while others run
short to desired capacities. Undertone at
least steady to fully steady.
