NATIONAL EGG MARKET - AT A
GLANCE - Prices were unchanged to lower
m the Northeast, and Midwest, and
unchanged on the balance. The market tone
was steady to weak, mostly barely steady.
Demand covered the full range, and was
mostly moderate. Retail specials boosted
movement, and some areas reported
increased first of the month business, while
other areas were disappointed with the
continued sluggish demand. Supplies were
adequate to ample, mostly adequate to ful
ly adequate, and occasionally barely
adequate in the Northeast where features
depleted supply. Breakers remained unag
gressive buyers of surplus shell eggs. Live
hen markets were mixed from barely
steady to fully steady.

Pricei continued their downward spiral.
Trading activity was mixed with lower
trending values enticing some buyers.
Raw materials were usually readily avail
able, but breakers were cautious and
attempted to limit receipts to regular com
mittments. Floor stocks were for the most
part in good balance for current dealer
needs.

Trucklot buying interest was mixed and
selective. Best demand centered on leg
quarters which were generally no more

balance; however, supplies varied from
plant to plant with supplies of white in the
tighter position. Breast items were in heavy
supply and forced for sale, particularly
boneless skinless. Drums and legs were
adequate. Thighs were adequate to barely
adequate.
