NONFAT DRY MILK - WEST                                           


In the West, pricing for low/medium heat nonfat dry milk (NDM) is 
mixed on the range. However, prices in the mostly series show an 
uptick, in line with upward movements of various indices. Overall, 
the market undertone is firmer. Nevertheless, a few processors are 
clearing old inventories at lower prices, close to the bottom price 
of the range. Demands from bakers and dry mix manufacturers are good. 
Trades in the f.o.b. spot market are light to moderate. Interest from 
many processors in drying condensed skim loads is rising. As a 
result, low/medium heat NDM production is very active. Inventories 
are steady to building. 

High heat nonfat dry milk prices are unchanged. Production is 
irregular, based on requests to meet immediate needs. Sales in the 
f.o.b. spot market are very light. Inventories are tight throughout 
the region. 

F.O.B. WEST:  Includes EXTRA GRADE and GRADE A                   
LOW/MEDIUM HEAT:    .7150 - .8350   MOSTLY:   .7650 - .8100
