DRY WHEY - CENTRAL 

Central dry whey prices are mixed.  The range remained steady while 
the bottom of the mostly decreased.  The market tone is weak as there 
are many suppliers.  Manufacturers are building inventories due to the 
abundant supply of milk.  There have been few finalized contracts due 
to lower pricing in the spot market.  Some manufacturers are getting 
offers, but are holding out for higher prices. There is Western whey 
clearing into the Central region due to price differences.  With the 
strength of the dollar, exporting is difficult. The resale market is 6 
to 7 cents lower than the spot market. ANIMAL FEED WHEY prices are 
lower.  The market tone is weaker with manufacturers meeting contract 
obligations.  Production is steady to lower.
