CENTRAL: This week, low/medium heat nonfat dry milk (NDM) prices were steady 
to lower in the mostly series. NDM price weakness was seen this week at the 
CME. However, the market tone is primarily firm. Production is maintaining 
strong output, with increases in milk volumes. Buying interest remains fair 
to good across domestic and export accounts. Some cheese makers are turning 
to condensed skim. Most NDM inventories are adequate for commitments. 
Sources report f.o.b. spot exchanges were limited in a somewhat quiet this 
week. High heat nonfat dry milk prices switched lower at the top of the 
range Supplies are sufficient for customer accounts.
EAST: Prices for low/medium nonfat dry milk (NDM) are mixed in the regional 
pricing series. Less trading activity is occurring at the low end of range 
Production is steady. Inventories are in balance to short of buyer interest. 
Most plants report that additional supplies will be available in the coming 
month. Demand is fair to good and clearing most current offerings. Interest 
in condensed skim is active, as supplies remain heavy. The low/medium heat 
NDM undertone is unsettled. High heat NDM prices are steady to lower, as a 
few buyers were able to secure f.o.b. spot loads. High heat demand is 
active, but supplies are limited. 

F.O.B. CENTRAL/EAST:  Includes EXTRA GRADE and GRADE A
