Periods of "Greatest Values" on Different Sizes 



On the basis of price per pound, certain sizes represent better values 

 than others in the different months as sold on the New Hampshire Egg 

 Auction. The sizes which show best values for the money for each 

 month are shown in the following columns. The figures represent "sav- 

 ings" or "losses" in cents per pound when comparisons are made with 

 the values of large size eggs. 



Price per Pound and Price per Dozen 



Prices per dozen and prices per pound for the top grade eggs of each 

 size were worked out for four representative months in 1936, namely, 

 January, April, July, and October. Some interesting price variations 

 occur within and between grades. (See Figs. 10 and 11).
