Prices were unchanged The market tone
continued about steady. Cartoned egg
movement was mostly moderate in a range
of slow to fairly good. Widespread features
geared-up in Southern California and
Arizona while other regions had limited
specials. Supplies were generally adequate
to fully adequate and available when
needed except extra large and jumbo in the
Northeast were sometimes barely adequate
Breakers attempted to purchase shell eggs
at lower prices than offered. Fowl plants
worked irregular schedules depending on
finished product demand which was gener
ally light
