GLANCE:
Prices were generally unchanged. The
market tone was cautiously steady.
Demand was light to good, but not meeting
pre-holiday expectations. Supplies were
adequate to ample. Breaking stock supplies
were fully adequate for the light demand
under a barely steady to weak market tone.
Offerings of light type hens remained
adequate to ample.
