Report supplied by USDA
MARKET COMMENT: Prices
unchanged. Cartoned egg orders
were generally heavier than week
ago, but most traders still noted
movement as only fair. Retail
features have also generated
stronger orders, and this has put
most dealers in a better balance
supply-wise; however, graded
stocks of large and extra large
were ample and additional product
was easily available. The most
improvement had been in the in
jury for nest runs, but this interest
has 1 been filled in most instances.
Mediums were fully adequate,
smalls irregular, but the demand
was usually filled from local
sources.
Undertone steadier but con
fused.
