NATIONAL EGG MARKET - AT A
GLANCE: The market tone was mostly
steady with an underlying cautiousness
apparent in several areas. Distributive
movement was mixed and not as aggres
sive as in previous weeks. Supplies were
usually sufficient to cover most needs with
mixed opinions in regards to additional
offerings. Breakers were selective and
weie working close with needs.
