NATIONAL EGG MARKET - AT A
GLANCE: Prices were unchanged. The
market tone was steady. Demand was fair
to good, mostly moderate and best where
retail features were in progress, and where
post-holiday fill-in orders were fairly
active. Supplies were short to occasionally
adequate on jumbo and extra-large, adequ
ate for large, and adequate to fully adequ
ate for the smaller sizes. Breaking stock
supplies were adequate under a steady
ttarket tone. Live hen markets were barely
steady, and offerings were plentiful for the
light and unaggresaive demand.

Prices were about unchanged on light
type fowl and too few sales to report on
heavy hens, however some limited trading
was noted at lower levels than prior week.
Availability of both classes was fully
adequate for the slow and unaggressive
interest from processors. Undertone barely
steady.
