CASEIN - NATIONAL                                                
                                                                 
Weakening global demand is reflected in domestic rennet casein 
prices, which moved lower. Pricing of other all dairy powders in 
GDT Event 157 this week declined in the all contracts category 
and most contract periods where pricing was recorded. This fact, 
as well as weaker markets in the EU, is reflected in U.S. casein 
markets. With potential buyers generally holding adequate 
inventories, as well as with manufacturers having product 
available, few buyers are in any rush to complete transactions 
in current market conditions.
