National Egg Market Wednesday, April 20, 1994 NATIONAL EGG MARKET-AT A GLANCE; Prices were unchanged to lower on all sizes in the Northeast, generally unchanged elsewhere. The maricet tone was barely steady to weak. Demand was fair to good where featured and into food service channels, only light to fair else where. Supplies were adequate to ample with light weight eggs in the best balance. Breaking stock supplies were at least adequate for the mostly moderate demand, and prices were lower. Light type hen offerings remained at least adequate for the limited demand, and the trade sentiment remained barely steady to about steady. N.E.
