Tiucklot buying activity was mixed with
dealers assessing their needs and buying
selectively. Offerings were irregularly
available with bone-in breasts usually in
the strongest position. Retail and distribu
tive movement was mostly light with some
forward interest developing and adding a
tinge of firmness to the marketplace. The
market tone remained cautiously steady.
