Egg Market
MARCH 20, 1996
Prices were unchanged to lower for
mediums in the Midwest, unchanged to
higher for the large sizes in die Northeast,
and the balance of pnces were unchanged.
The maiket tone was at least steady for the
large sizes, and steady to weak for
mediums. Demand into retail channels was
light to good, best where featured, and
loose egg inquiry was mixed from mod
erate to good. Supplies of the large sizes
were adequate to barely adequate and
sought, and the light sizes were adequate to
fully adequate. Breaking stock prices were
unchanged, and supplies were adequate for
the light to moderate demand. Live hen
offerings were sufficient for the slow to
moderate demand. ___
