NATIONAL EGG MARKET - AT A
GLANCE: Prices were lower in the Mid
west, unchanged elsewhere. The market
tone was cautiously steady to weak.
Demand into all channels was mostly mod
erate. Very few retail specials were in
progress following last week's heavy vol
ume. Supplies were at least adequate and
available. Breakers remained unaggressive
with extra shell egg offerings. Live hen
markets were barely steady to weak;
demand was fair at best for the at least
adequate supplies.
