Memphis Egg and Poultry Market Review in Early November
In Memphis this week business was steady with few price changes. Fresh eggs remained at 2 cents locally, storage eggs sent out at 26 cents, and storage stock moving to cover November and December orders. Dressed poultry demand rose slightly while turkey trade remained uncertain though supply is expected ample. Apples held at 4.50 to 5 per barrel with ample storage reducing discounts, lettuce scarce with prices up, cabbage and potatoes easing, butter tight with strong demand for country butter. Patent egg cartons from W A Schurmann & Co of Chicago announced they will enforce Patent No 916601 for folding cartons.
