Central whey spot prices were mixed on the range, while the top of the 
mostly price series slid one cent. Some preferred brands changed hands, 
possibly leading to an increase on the price range. However, regular reports 
of block volume spot trades have been reported, keeping pressure on current 
price points. Spot trading was steady to a little heavier than in previous 
weeks. Dry whey production is steady to slightly lower. Feed whey spot 
market prices slipped on the top of the range. Feed whey spot activity was 
fairly quiet, as inventories remain available. The DMN monthly average of 
the mostly price series for Central dry whey during August was $0.3964, 
compared to $0.2798 a year ago. The monthly average of the range price 
series for Central animal feed whey during July was $0.3448, compared to
