DRY WHEY - WEST                                                  
 
Western whey prices softened slightly this week.  The top of the range and 
the bottom of the mostly each moved lower by 1 cent. Industry contacts note 
spot sales have been subdued. Buyers have shown limited interest and sellers 
have shown no urgency in completing transactions.  In addition, limited 
international demand has presented a downward pressure on prices.  Without 
renewed buyer activity, market participants suggest no real reasons for the 
market to strengthen in the near future.

                                                                
NONHYGROSCOPIC:    .3950 - .4900   MOSTLY:    .4100 - .4500
