National
Egg Market
Wednesday, January 19, 1994
NATIONAL EGG MARKET - AT A
GLANCE: Prices were unchanged. The
market tone was mostly steady. Demand
was mixed, mostly moderate and best into
retail channels, while food service demand
was light to fair. Extreme cold weather east
of the Rockies, and the Southern California
earthquake have disrupted transportation
and delivery schedules. Supplies were gen
erally adequate, and difficulty transporting
eggs has created some shortages, and some
surpluses. Breaking stock supplies were
adequate, and the undertone was generally
steady. Live hen markets were about
steady, and supplies of hens were generally
adequate, but the cold conditions have lim
ited movement of birds off farm to the
slaughter plants.

Bitter cold weather conditions and ice
covered highways continue to keep the
markets unsettled. Supplies of boneless
skinless breasts were short of trade needs.
Trading was reported at a solid 1.90, with
asking prices trending higher. Some buyer
inquiries went unfilled. Line run breasts
were sufficient to cover trade needs. Most
early morning offerings were booked at
unchanged to slightly higher prices for
deliveries through the weekend. Datk meat
items were well cleared at unchanged to
higher prices and the undertone was fully
steady to firni. Wings were available for
the very light demand. Prices were lower.

Delmarva
Broiler/Fryer Market
Wednesday, January 19, 1994
Movement of ready-to-cook whole birds
was mixed and irregular and continued to
be affected by bad weather conditions in
shipping channels. Supplies and offerings
were also irregular as freezing tempera
tures in growing areas were disrupting pro
duction. Live supplies were moderate;
weights were desirable to heavier than
desired. Less than tmcklot asking prices
were unchanged at 52 to 64 cents.
Trade sentiment varied from steady to
firm and was influenced by the weather. In
the parts complex, supplies were in gener
ally good balance, particularly, bone-in
breasts. Wings were in heaviest supply.
