WHOLE MILK POWDER (WMP):  Whole milk powder prices moved lower on both 
ends of the range.  Export demand has slowed in recent weeks as most 
buyers have covered their near term needs and are willing to hold off 
purchases for a better picture of market trends.  The weaker euro has 
made European WMP more competitively priced, but increased sales have yet 
to develop.  Available supplies are relatively tight as production of WMP 
for most of Q1 has been focused on filling existing orders with little 
availability for the spot market.  Most WMP manufacturers have plans to 
expand production as milk production increases in the coming weeks. 

26% BUTTERFAT:                           2,850 - 3,200
