Prices were unchanged.  Larger sizes were trending significantly higher.         
Trade sentiment was at least steady on mediums, fully steady to firm on        
larger sizes.  Retail demand improved and was mostly fairly good to good,       
best where promotions were a factor.  Supplies were mixed, but usually         
sufficient to close for immediate needs.  Breaking stock floor stocks were 
about adequate for regular processing schedules.  Light type hens were 
fully sufficient for the fair to moderate demand.
