   Livestock Complex Rounds Out the Week on Slightly Lower Tone

   Traders weren't overly interested in supporting the livestock contracts
through Friday's end, but it was positive to see that dressed cattle were
marked at $288 this week which is steady with last week's weighted average.

GENERAL COMMENTS:

   Friday's market wasn't overly eventful as trades were somewhat checked out
early for the week and mostly let the contracts either chop sideways or drift
lower ahead of Friday's close. It was encouraging; however, to see that
Northern cattle traded at mostly $288 which is fully steady with last week's
weighted average. December corn is up 7 1/4 cents per bushel and December
soybean meal is down $0.30. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 310.99
points.
