LACTOSE - CENTRAL AND WEST                                                      

Lactose prices are steady. Industry contacts generally report quiet activity, 
but some spot sales occurred. Inquiries from buyers continue. Many of the 
requests are at prices below the current price range and are not accepted. A 
few buyers are beginning to look at Q4 contracts.  In some cases, buyers are 
looking to lock in pricing for 2016. Production remains steady. Although 
inventories are generally long, some manufacturers report tight or committed 
stocks at their facilities.


Including spot sales and up to 3 month contracts.                               
F.O.B. EDIBLE, NON PHARMACEUTICAL   .1500 - .2500    MOSTLY:   .1700 - .2100
