heavy. Large supplies are fully
adequate. Weights are irregular.
Undertone is no more than steady.

generally 1 cent higher on U.S.

Philadelphia Eggs
Thursday, May 12
Report supplied by USDA
MARKET COMMENT; Prices
are generally higher compared to
a week ago. Carton egg movement
is light to fair and a little sluggish
in most quarters. Retail features
draw fairly well but the number of
outlets featuring has decreased
and has not significantly increased
total orders. Jumbos remain short
of needs. Extra large and large are
fully adequate to ample with
surplus stocks showing up in
several quarters. Mediums are
ample and difficult to move.
Gradable mass runs are starting to
show up with class three’s in
longest position. Undertone fairly
steady to weak.
Prices to retailers: Sales to
volume buyers, consumer grades
white eggs in cartons delivered
store door:
A Extra Large 72-74; A Large 71-
73; A Medium 62-66.
