NATIONAL EGG MARKET - AT A
GLANCE:
Prices were unchanged on the West
Coast, and unchanged to lower elsewhere.
The market tone ranged steady to weak,
mostly weak. Demand remained light to
fairly good, mostly fair. Supplies of jumbo
and extra-large were tight to adequate, and
large through small were adequate to
ample, except large were occasionally tight
on the West Coast and in Florida. Breaking
stock supplies were adequate to fully
adequate, and demand for additional offer
ings was very light. Light type hen offer
ings remained sufficient for full slaughter
schedules.
