DRY WHEY - CENTRAL                                               
                                                                 
Central dry whey prices edged lower on the bottom of the range and the 
mostly.  The market tone is unsettled.  Several manufacturers indicate 
inventories are in balance with near term needs.  While some contract 
customers delay picking up loads as originally scheduled, an equal number 
of loads are shipping ahead of schedule by customer request.  A few 
manufacturers are opting to clear spot loads at minor market discounts to 
balance stocks on hand.  One or two manufacturers are clearing dry whey 
into the spot market as phase one of establishing a customer base.  These 
manufacturers expect prices will improve with satisfactory customer 
experiences.  As Q3 approaches, some producers are entering negotiations 
with resellers to realign contract pricing with current market demand.
