Trucklot buying activity was noted as
light and typical of midweek trading. Of
ferings of breast items were at least suffi
cient. Dark meat cuts were fully ade
quate. Wings were ample and often
available at discounted levels to stimulate
sales. Movement through retail and distri
butive channels was generally fair at best
with feature activity generating lukewarm
consumer interest. The market tone was
barely steady to weak on wings, no better
than steady on the balance
