Prices were unchanged.  Asking prices for next week's deliveries were                                
trending sharply lower.  The market tone was weak.  Demand into all                                 
channels was very light to at times moderate.  Supplies were fully                                 
adequate to available for current trade needs.  Eastern region breaking                            
stock offerings were fully adequate for a light demand.  Light hens  
were sufficient to fully adequate for reduced holiday processing schedules.
