NONFAT DRY MILK - WEST                                           

Prices for low/medium nonfat dry milk are unchanged in the mostly 
series. Manufacturers' production volumes are at seasonal levels, as 
current production schedules are active. Inventories of NDM are 
adequate for current demand. Sources indicate a slight uptick in 
export interest, as global prices exert pressure. Movement is light 
in the spot market this week. Seasonal interest in NDM is developing 
for bakery and confectionary accounts. A few producers are opting to 
make milk protein products over NDM. The high heat NDM prices are 
steady to higher. Plant production is intermittent. Inventories are 
fair to tight, as some manufacturers note being sold out.
