DRY WHEY - NORTHEAST                                                 
                                                                     
Eastern dry whey prices are unchanged, resulting from limited f.o.b spot 
market transactions. Most movement is occurring on a contractual basis. 
Sources indicate some producers' stocks increased marginally from the pre-
Thanksgiving holiday tightness. Limited supplies on hand for exchange in the 
spot market could potentially hold prices steady during the holiday period. 
The Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), reports that January-October 2015 
U.S. dry whey exports totaled 26.7 million pounds, a 34% decline from a year 
ago.
