Philadelphia Eggs
Thursday, November 8
Report supplied by USD A
Market Comment; Prices were
unchanged to higher. Cartoned egg
orders were fair to good and
generally noted as improved
compared to last week. Floor
stocks were adequate to fully
adequate with some dealers ten
ding to let inventories build rather
than sell any accumulated
product. Lighter weight class I’s
were available while the heavier
weights were tight and con
veniently held. Graded loose large
were fully adequate and rather
easy to find if needed. Mediums,
both graded and ungraded, were in
excess of current needs and most
local producer-packers have
surplus stocks to sell. Extra large
were irregular. Some dealers were
still being offered additional
product, but the bulk of dealers
found supplies no more than
adequate and were willing to take
on additional stocks.
