SHELL EGGS: Daily Northeast Regional Eggs                                       
                                                                                

Prices were unchanged.  Trade sentiment was barely steady to weak.  Demand      
was light to moderate with increased movement in areas affected by snow         
storms with predictions for more snow by tomorrow.  The Northeast shell egg     
inventory was 10% higher than last week, and the New England shell egg          
inventory was 2% more than last Monday.  Supplies were adequate to              
available for trade needs.  Breaking stock offerings in the Eastern region      
were sufficient; schedules were normal to slighlty lighter.  Light hen          
offerings were moderate to instances heavy for the fair to fairly good          
demand.
