CASEIN - NATIONAL                                                
                                                                 
The rennet and acid casein prices were unchanged this week in light 
trading.  Supplies are readily available in Oceania and Europe, with 
European production increasing as milk production seasonally increases.  
Demand remains sluggish as buyers have their near term needs covered.  
Negotiations for Q3 are slow to develop as buyers are in no hurry to 
expand supplies with the possibility of lower prices in the coming weeks.   
               
SPOT SALES AND UP TO 3 MONTH CONTRACTS.  PRICES ARE F.O.B.,
