Abstract: Excerpts from the report Preface: This report describes the Chicago and St. Louis egg markets and the pricing of eggs to country shippers, wholesalers, other handlers, and retail stores. The prices established in these two markets are believed to have considerable influence on, and, in turn, probably are affected by, prices paid to farmers in most of the North Central region. The report presents a preliminary evaluation of the pricing mechanism and indicates possible means of overcoming present shortcomings in the pricing system. The report is designed to assist farmers, egg handlers, students and teachers of the marketing of farm products, and others to gain a better understanding of the marketing and pricing processes in a major egg market.
