Tracklot buying interest was quite irregu
lar. Supplies of smaller boneless skinless
breasts from yellow skin product were
adequate for current needs, bigger cutlets
from white skin product were fully adequ
ate, offered at competitive prices and slow
to dear.
Line run breaWwere fully adequate for the
very cautious buying interest. Shipper ask
ing prices and trading was repotted at low
er trending prices. Daifc meat items from
nearby production areas cleared well to a
fairly good demand. Wings were ample
and most buyers wait for further market
developments.
