Frozen Eggs
DECEMBER 20, 1996
Prices were unchanged to lower. The
market tone was barely steady to weak.
Demand for immediate delivery was very
light, and inquiry for January needs was
mixed with roost buyers wanting lower
prices. Floor stocks were adequate, but not
usually building due to many plants work
ing reduced schedules. Liquid and frozen
eggs (ingredients included) processed
under federal inspection in the East for the
week ending December 14, 1996 were up
7% from last week, and up 16% from the
tame week last year.

Prices were unchanged to lower on the
Bait Coast, and unchanged eliewhere. The
market lone wai steady to weak. Cartoned
egg movement into retail channels
remained mixed across the full range, but
began to decrease as Christmas neared.
Wholesale inquity continued very light
with most plants attempting to minimize
post-holiday left-overs. Supplies were
adequate to ample. Breaking stock supplies
were also adequate to ample for the very
light demand, and prices were unchanged
to lower. Light type hen supplies were
more available and about adequate as
reduced holiday schedules approached.
