DRY WHEY - NORTHEAST                                                 

Dry whey prices in the Northeast are steady to higher, with changes in 
contracts. Otherwise, few spot trades are reported. Output this week 
matches the region's steady to higher cheese production. Inventory 
levels vary, as some manufacturers diversify whey stream end products. 
With some orders having been pushed back, those buyers are searching 
other regions for dry whey product. The market undertone is unsettled.
