CASEIN - NATIONAL                                                
                                                                 
Casein markets are quiet this week as the end of the year nears. 
Prices are steady, with low spot market sales activity. Strong 
milk production in Europe resulting in significant supplies of 
skim milk powder, leading to sales into intervention, in 
addition to ample SMP supplies in Oceania, all factor into 
casein pricing. 

SPOT SALES AND UP TO 3 MONTH CONTRACTS.  PRICES ARE F.O.B.,
