MADISON, WI.  October 15, 2015 (REPORT 41)                                      

LACTOSE - CENTRAL AND WEST                                                      

Lactose prices held mostly steady this week, but edged up slightly on the 
bottom of the range. Market participants say low priced lactose is not as 
readily available. Some manufacturers report they are reluctant to accept any 
low bids. Production remains steady, but some processors are continuing to 
only produce lactose needed for existing sales. Demand is increasing 
somewhat.

Including spot sales and up to 3 month contracts.                               
F.O.B. EDIBLE, NON PHARMACEUTICAL   .1450 - .2600    MOSTLY:   .1600 - .2100
