CASEIN - NATIONAL                                                
                                                                 
Casein prices are unchanged for both the acid and rennet casein price 
series.  Market indications are weak for both types of casein with 
supplies readily available in New Zealand and increasing in Europe.  Some 
buyers are holding off additional purchases; due to the possibility of 
lower prices as expected supply increases in Europe develop in the coming 
weeks.  Import delays on the west coast, due to recent worker/management 
negotiations, are improving and should be back to normal delivery 
schedules soon.
