GENERAL COMMENTS:

   It was a mixed day for the livestock complex as the contracts were mostly
pressured although some of the nearby live cattle and feeder cattle contracts
were able to hold their slightly higher position through the day's end. A
little bit of clean-up trade developed in the cash market, but prices remained
steady with the trends set earlier in the week. March corn is up 9 3/4 cents
per bushel and March soybean meal is up $2.80. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
is up 334.70 points.
