COMMENTS:  A light trade was reported in most areas today with 
Southern live deals marked at $260, steady/week compared to last week's 
weighted averages. Northern dressed deals were done at mostly $410 to $412, 
$1 lower to $1 higher than last week's weighted averages, the majority of 
Northen business was on a live basis at $260, $3 to $4 lower than the prior 
week's weighted average. It is looking like the bulk of business is 
essentially done for the week, but a little light and/or cleanup on Friday is 
not out of the question.
