Egg Prices Rise but Outlook Remains Uncertain
New York City reports a modest improvement in the egg market last week with prices in New York fractionally higher than a year ago though dealers lack confidence in the outlook. Cold storage holdings show January reductions light versus last year, and total poultry storage remains 17 percent higher, signaling brisk movement to clear ahead of the 1989 crop. Broilers and fryers are weakest due to increased eastern supplies, while roasting chickens and turkeys hold and roasters show some profit for sellers.
