Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The quotation system of pricing eggs has been used extensively by the egg trade for many decades. The Urner family began regular reporting of New York wholesale prices of eggs and several other farm commodities in 1857. Gradually these price reports came to be used regularly by the egg trade as price quotations. Today, large quantities of eggs in many parts of the United States are traded at prices fixed on the basis of the New York wholesale quotations reported by the Urner-Barry Company. Additional large volumes are priced on the basis of quotations established in other central markets. The principal objective of this report is to evaluate tentatively the pricing process for eggs in New York City. A second objective is to describe aspects of market organization and trading in eggs that are related to the pricing system.
