PROCESSED EGGS:  Weekly National Frozen Eggs (Fri)                              
                                                                                

Frozen whole egg ranged 1 to 3 cents higher with whites and sugared yolk        
unchanged.  Salted yolk ranged unchanged to 1 cent higher.  Trade sentiment     
was firm for whole egg, and mostly steady on the balance of prices.             
Offerings were tight and generally made to order.  Demand was light to          
moderate.  Most trading continued to center on less than trucklot volumes       
while buyers were unwilling to take a solid position on sizeable volumes at     
this time.  Breaking stock prices were higher when compared to last week's      
reported prices.
