Fixes the "This week's egg prices" card on Markets, which said prices were unavailable when you opened the app. Prices now load once you're signed in and refresh when you come back to the app. If a refresh fails, you keep the last prices, with their dates. Also fixes a blank card at the top of the feed. Egg price volumes now read in 30-dozen cases, and the monthly cage-free price is labeled as the contract price it is. Plus assorted fixes.
