Tiucklot buying interest was typically
quiet for the middle of the week, however,
optimism for the weekend was noted.
Offerings of bone-in breasts began to

Prices were unchanged. The market tone
was steady. Demand remained mixed from
light to occasionally good, mostly mod
erate to fairly good, and was best where
scattered features existed. Supplies of all
sizes were generally adequate to close.
Breaking stock offerings from regular
sources were adequate to close, and
demand for additional heavy nest runs was
light to occasionally moderate. Light type
fowl for this week were reported as gener
ally sufficient, but next week’s offerings
were less than normal.
