MADISON, WI.  July 01, 2015 (REPORT 26)                                         

LACTOSE - CENTRAL AND WEST                                                      
                                                                                
Lactose prices moved slightly lower this week.  The market tone remains weak.  
Production continues to be active and inventories tend to be long, unless the 
manufacturer can find a home for Q3 or Q4 production. Buyers are making more 
inquiries for product, but demand for spot loads continues to be somewhat 
limited. In some cases, manufacturers are discounting a few loads to help 
clear inventories.

Including spot sales and up to 3 month contracts.                               
F.O.B. EDIBLE, NON PHARMACEUTICAL   .1700 - .3000    MOSTLY:   .1800 - .2450
