Abstract: Excerpts from the report Summary: This report describes the organization of the Los Angeles market for eggs, the principal marketing organizations, the trade practices, the methods of establishing and reporting egg prices, and the pricing results. Of particular interest in the Los Angeles market is the peculiar nature and operation of its quotation pricing system. The study was undertaken because of the importance of Los Angeles as a market for eggs, the widespread criticism of quotation pricing systems, and the contrasts in market organization, trade practices, and pricing methods between Los Angeles and other major markets.
