Prices were unchanged; however, all
sizes were trending lower. The market
tone was barely steady. Demand into all
channels ranged light to fairly good. Sup
plies were adequate to instances available
for current trade needs. Breaking stock
supplies were sufficient for the moderate
to good demand. Light type hens were at
least adequate to fully ade-
for tl
