was generally noted as good and sufficient
to keep seasonally reduced offerings
cleared satisfactorily. live supplies were
about moderate; weights were mostly
desirable to heavy. Processing schedules
were moderately heavy. Less than truck!ot
asking prices were 1 cent higher at 47 to 61
cents. Trade sentiment was fully steady to
firm. In the parts complex, boneless skin
less breasts remained available and slow to
clear. Inquiry continued to build for the
fully adequate supply of bone-in breasts.
Leg items were fully adequate for a mostly
fair demand. Wings were short of an active
demand.

NATIONAL EGO MARKET - AT A
GLANCE:
Prices were unchanged to lower in the
South for extra large and huge and other
prices remained the same. The market tone
was cautiously steady to weak. Demand
was mixed and ranged from light to good,
best in retail outlets where holiday shop
ping and winter storms were a factor. Sup
plies of graded eggs were adequate to tight
and ungraded eggs were adequate to
ample. Breaking stock supplies were
to ample for the light demand.
Light type hen offerings were at least
adequate.
