NATIONAL EGO MARKET - AT A
GLANCE
Prices were unchanged throughout the
country. The market tone was mostly
steady to instances fully steady. Retail
demand tanged light to moderate, mostly
moderate, with promotional activity usual
ly generating best pull. Supplies were mix
ed. balanced to available at times, but gen
erally adequate, overall. However, on the
West coast, fairly good movement,
enhanced by regional feature activity, kept
product in good balance. Breaking stock
supplies were at least adequate from regu
lar sources, and demand for additional pro
duct continued unaggressive as dealers
monitored market developments closely.
Light type fowl were fully sufficient for
immediate needs.

MARKET. FEDERAL-STATE
Movement of ready-to-cook whole birds
remained sufficient to keep 3 pound and
heavier weights in good balance to well
cleared. However, overall inquiry was
slowing, typical of both normal midweek
activity and the beginning of lent Live
supplies were mostly moderate; weights
were mostly desirable to light Processing
schedules were moderate to moderately
heavy. Less than trucklot asking prices
were 1 cent higher at 49 to 61 cents. Trade
sentiment was fully steady to firm. Breast
items and wings continued to clear well.
Leg items were ample for the light and
spotty buying interest
