CASEIN - NATIONAL                                                
                                                                 
Prices for both rennet and acid casein are unchanged.  Trading is 
primarily through contracts with light spot sales activity.  More than 
adequate global supplies are having an impact on Q2 negotiations with 
prospective buyers seeking price concessions.  The continuing weak euro, 
compared to the U.S. dollar, adds to the competiveness of European 
casein.  The market undertone is weak.
 
SPOT SALES AND UP TO 3 MONTH CONTRACTS.  PRICES ARE F.O.B.,      
U.S. WAREHOUSE FOR EDIBLE NONRESTRICTED AND VARY ACCORDING       
TO MESH SIZE AND QUALITY.
