DRY WHEY - WEST   

Western dry whey prices moved lower at the top of the mostly price 
series.  Some manufacturers are seeking buyers for spot sales of 
available inventory but finding resistance at suggested prices in the 
area of, or higher than mostly prices.   Other manufacturers are 
reported to be sold out except for contract availability.  Some 
prospective buyers believe volumes of whey are available for spot 
sales but with sellers not being very active in shopping it around at 
this time.  Customers for the most part seem adequately stocked and 
inclined to defer spot market buying until lower prices are offered.  
Contract deliveries are moving well with some indices adjusting lower.  
Some manufacturers' whey available outside of contracts is moving into 
export rather than the domestic spot market.
