New York Eggs
Tuesday, November 21
Market about steady. Local
wholesale demand is slower with
sales generally of a small lot
nature. Distributors are lightly
supplied on most grades
however, offerings of large and
occasionally mediums are
adequate. Smalls are short for a
spotty demand, extra large are
fully adequate to ample.
Undertone continues nervous
an spotty lighter sales develop for
next week based on market
values to be determined.

news information twice weekly
instead of daily from several
locations, USDA has announced.
The change will take place in
locations where egg market news
reports are published
separately—in some locations
egg market news is included in
combined daily reports on eggs,
poultry, dairy products, and
other products. There will be no
change in the issuance of these
combined reports.
The change to mailing reports
twice weekly (Tuesdays and
Fridays) will occur in Newark,
N.J.; Chicago, 111.; Atlanta, Ga.;
' and Miss.
The twice' weekly mailings,
which are expected to bring
about a reduction in the operating
cost of the market news service,
reflect an expected trend in the
egg industry away from daily
price negotiation toward once or
twice a week sales, and come at
the recommendation of an in
dustry study group. The changes
were proposed in the Federal
Register Sept. 9.
