Tiucklot buying interest improved and
was fairly good for late week Mid early
next week deliveries. Holiday production
cuts in nearby shipping centers were
adding some confidence to current market
conditions. Breast items, particularly bone
less skinless were short of inquiry. Leg
quarters were adequate and clearing satis
factorily. Wings varied from closely
cleared to fully adequate. Trade sentiment
was at least steady on all items.
