Tmcklot buying activity was light and
unaggressive. Offerings were fully adequ
ate and often increasingly competitively
priced in an attempt to stimulate buyer
interest. Retail and distributive movement
was dull and disappointing. Some out front
interest was developing for promotional
activity on boneless skinless breasts. The
market tone was generally weak and
unsettled.

Movement of ready-to-cook whole birdi

as ample and generally slow to dear. Live
supplies remained mostly moderate;
weights were mixed in a full range of light
to heavy. Processing schedules were mod
erate to heavy. Less than ttucklot asking
prices were lower at 57 to 71 cents. Trade
sentiment was weak and unsettled. In the
pans complex, all items were at least
adequate or available; however, buying
interest was limited.
