New York Eggs
Prices trended higher. Street
trading is improved on all sizes
and grades and is fairly active.
Mediums and smalls are moving
to a more favorable position and
local stocks on hand are reduced
to adequate levels. Large are
well cleared and total holding are
no more than sufficient to fill
trade needs Carton demand is
good and major retail outlets note
sharp increase in movement on
all sizes. Offerings are generally
adequate on large and mediums.

gets 60c a gallon for milk—but
$2 40 a gallon for a product he
processes and sells called
“Nature’s Own Deodenzed
Liquid Cow Manure.”
