Tnicklot buying interest was no better
than fair. Supplies of boneless skinless
breasts were adequate and traded at current
prices. However, buyers became increas
ingly cautious. Line ran breasts were avail
able at several shipping points. Product
was offered at steady prices but most buy
ers limited receipts to commitments. Most
buyers reported they were out of the mark
et unul the middle of neat week and
planned to wait for that market to develop.
Dark meat items were adequate for trade
needs and cleared at steady prices. Wings
were short of covering an active demand
and prices trended higher.
