Trucklot buying interest was mixed.
Offerings were usually at the least adequ
ate with boneless skinless breasts the only
item held with a degree of confidence. Cur
rent business is still reflective of the last
week of the month, but forward buying is
optimistic, especially on the cutlets. Trade
sentiment is cautious.

NATIONAL EGG MARKET - AT A
GLANCE:
Prices were unchanged to lower in the
Northeast and Midwest, and unchanged
elsewhere. The market tone was barely
steady to weak. Demand was light to mod
erate in all channels with occasional retail
specials creating improved demand. Sup
plies of white eggs were adequate to
ample, and brown eggs in New England
remained closely balanced. Breaking stock
supplies were fUUy adequate from regular
suppliers, and demand was light. Light hen
offerings were fully adequate for the light
demand, and prices were too few to report.
