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.
