Philadelphia Eggs
Thursday, November 1
Report supplied by USDA
MARKET COMMENT: Prices
were unchanged to higher on all
sizes. Overall cartoned orders to
retail chains tended to be a little
heavier today and ranged from
fair to good although some dealers
have indicated no improvement
and orders are still light.
Movement to distributors and
other loose egg customers was
slow to' fair. Most producer
packers noted a fairly balanced
position on large although there
were pockets of surplus eggs
available particularly graded
loose. Mediums were ample in
most quarters and difficult to
move as buying interest centered
on the larger sizes. Breakers have
provided an alternative as many
traders have balanced their stocks
through these channels. Undertone
steady to fully steady.
Prices to retailers: sales to
volume buyers, consumer grades
white eggs in cartons delivered
store door:
A Extra Large .59%-.65; A Large
,58%-.64; A Medium .51-.54.
