Philadelphia Eggs
Thursday, October 18
Report supplied by USDA
MARKET COMMENT: Prices
are unchanged to lower with large
in the weakest position. Cartoned
egg movement in general was light
to fair although an occasional
dealer noted orders as fairly good
Jumbos were in a better balance
but most dealers were still
rationing their supplies. Floor
stocks of extra large and large
were at least ample.
Offerings of additional
production continue to be heavy
and have only found a limited
buying interest. Mediums and
smalls were in a much better
position than large. The demand
was not that aggressive for the
smaller sizes but the supply has
lessened and there was at least
some inquiry. Undertone un
settled.
