Pricci in the Midwest and Northeast
were unchanged to lower, unchanged else
where. The market tone was barely steady
to weak. Demand for cartoned eggs was
light to mostly moderate, better where fea
tured. Both graded and ungraded loose egg
demand was light as most dealers awaited
further market developments. Supplies of
mediums were in the best balance, while
large and extra large were adequate to bur
densome. Breakers unaggressively pur
chased raw materials at lower prices.
Demand for spent hens was fair to fairly
good for a hilly adequate supply.
