unchanged values from prior week. Under

Egg Market
Tuesday, November 23, 1993
NATIONAL EGG MARKET - AT A
GLANCE: All prices were unchanged to
lower in the Mid-Atlantic region, mediums
were unchanged to lower in the Midwest,
and the balance of prices were unchanged.
The market tone was steady to weak, gen
erally cautious. Retail demand was mod
erate to very good, mostly good for last
minute Thanksgiving orders. Supplies
were adequate to ample, and the light sizes
were the most available. Breaking slock
prices were generally unchanged under a
barely steady trade sentiment, and offer
ings were fully adequate for the light and
unagressive buyer interest Live hen sup
plies were mixed, and the market tone was
generally steady.

for Anther market developments prior to
making any long range commitments. Raw
materials were folly adequate to ample
with most plants operating reduced holiday
schedules and showing little or no interest
in surplus offerings. Floor slocks easily
satisfied current dealer interest

Prices were lower. Tnde sentiment was
cautiously steady to weak. Demand for car
toned eggs into retail channels was mostly
good for last minute Thanksgiving delive
ries, but inquiry for next week was light.
Supplies of the large sizes were adequate
or available, and mediums were ample.
The New Jersey inventory was 20% below
last Monday's level, and the New York
inventory was 9% above last week.

Tnicklot buying interen for immediate
deliveries waa light while buyen were
inquiring for product to cover next week
needs. Supplies of boneless skinless
breasts were at least adequate. The trade
was fairly busy today with smaller volume
sales and some out front bookings. The
trade sentiment was at least steady. Line
run breasts were from today's production
ranged adequate to ample but most buyers
limited receipts to commitments and plan
to look for new product after the holiday.
Leg quarters were available but traded at
steady prices to a fair demand. Wings were
well cleared to a very good call.
