Market Comment: Prices un
changed. Trade sentiment im
proved slightly but generally just
steady. Cartoned egg activity was
mostly fair with some dealers
noting interest developing for
retail promotion cm large and
medium. Graded supplies of large
and extra large were fully suf
ficient to handle current needs.
Mediums continued to tighten and
were irregularly available. Spent
hen movement was active within
the area and overall production
was decreasing, causing some
improvement in the undertone.
Prices to retailers: sales to
volume buyers, consumer grades
white eggs in cartons delivered

A Extra Large 55-58; A Large 53-
56; A Medium 4041.

Market Comment: The market
tone remained weak, and prices
for next week’s activity were
trending one to two cents lower.
Off-farm movement was heavy
and total offerings exceeded plant
needs. Processor schedules were
full and some storing of finished
product was necessary as canner
sales were slow and highly com
petitive.
