WHOLE MILK POWDER (WMP):  Whole milk powder prices moved lower on both 
ends of the range.  Export demand has declined compared to recent weeks, 
due to readily available supplies and lower prices from New Zealand.  
Production of whole milk powder in Europe remains constricted as 
manufacturers are unwilling to greatly expand production beyond current 
commitments.  Some increase in buyer interest, brought about by the 
comparatively weak euro, has not resulted in sales as buyers are hesitant 
to make purchases with the possibility of lower prices in the near term.
