Philadelphia Eggs
Thursday, December 20
Report supplied by USD A
Market Comment: Prices were
unchanged to lower. Cartoned egg
movement continues to improve,
and most dealers indicated orders
were heavy for today and
tomorrow’s deliveries. Floor
stocks were fully adequate to
ample but expected to clear.
However, a problem was noted in
that most dealers have sufficient
stocks on hand and were not or
dering any additional product.
Offerings of class l’s, class 2’s and
graded loose large were still
available and discounting was
generally needed to move
products. Mediums and smalls
were available but there was
sufficient buying interest to keep
these sizes in balance. Undertone
was unsettled.
Prices to retailers: sales to
volume buyers, consumer grades
white eggs in cartons delivered
store door;
A Extra Large .83-.69; A Large
.62-.65; A Medium ,57-.62Vfe.
