SWEET WHEY POWDER:  Whey powder markets are mixed with prices generally lower.  
During the past few months, prices have increased and decreased and, at this 
time, prices are trending lower.  Cheese production in Europe was stronger in 
January, but no noticeable influences on the whey market are being reported.  
Traders and handlers indicate that whey volumes are available for both domestic 
and international buyers with most sales activity centered on domestic buyer 
interest.  International buyers continue to resist asking prices.
