DRY WHEY - WEST                                                  
                                                                 
Prices for Western dry whey are mixed with the full range marginally 
higher and the mostly series showing some weakness.  Both series 
tightened their spread.  Trading ahead of the holiday was mostly 
lackluster with light spot sales reported.  Whey production is reported 
to be mostly steady as cheese plants continue to operate on busy 
schedules.  Whey inventories are adequate for immediate needs with 
product available from both manufacturers and brokers.  Export demand 
continues to move much of the Western production.  
                                                                 
NONHYGROSCOPIC:    .5600 - .6300   MOSTLY:    .5600 - .6025
