GLANCE
In Chicago and New York prices were
slightly higher. In the Eastern region,

Elsewhere, prices were unchanged. The
market tone tanged steady to cautiously
firm, mostly steady to fully steady.
Demand was generally mixed, fair to good

the occasional retail promotion. Supplies
were usually adequate, but often held with
seasonal confidence. Breaking stock sup
plies were mostly adequate for the fair
demand. Light type fowl were sufficient
for current needs.
