NONFAT DRY MILK - WEST                                           


In the West, low/medium heat nonfat dry milk (NDM) f.o.b. spot prices 
are mixed on a narrower range. However, prices are unchanged on the 
mostly series. The market tone continues to be unsettled for many 
industry participants. Demands from several buyers/end users are 
light to moderate. Spot sales activity has been sluggish throughout 
the week. At this point, most sales are based on contractual needs. 
Moderate to heavy condensed skim volumes are moving into Class II 
processing ahead of the year-end holiday needs. Therefore, regional 
low/medium NDM production rates are steady to slightly lower. 
However, during the upcoming holiday week, dryer schedules are 
expected to be close to full capacity. Currently, inventories are 
mixed throughout the region. High heat prices are mixed on light 
trading. The market undertone is steady. Demands from bakers and dry 
mix manufacturers are fair. Production is intermittent, based on 
contractual requirements. Spot load availability is limited.
