COMMENTS: A light trade was reported today, with Northern dressed 
sales marked at $386, $2 lower than last week's weighted averages, Southern 
live business was at $246, $2 lower than the prior week's weighted averages. 
It is looking like the bulk of trading is essentially completed for the 
week, but we will likely see a little cleanup here and there tomorrow.
