Philadelphia Eggs
Thursday, December 27
Report supplied by USDA
Market Comment: Prices were
unchanged. Cartoned egg orders
were fair to good but not of the
same volume as last week’s or
ders. Floor stocks of graded
products were at least adequate
for current needs. Seller offerings
of ungraded eggs had increased
and were fully adequate to ample.
Clearances were difficult as the
buying interest for any additional
product was spotty. Undertone was
barely steady to weak.
Prices to retailers; sales to
volume buyers, consumer grades
white eggs in cartons delivered

A Extra Large .sft-.63; A Large
