MADISON, WI.  November 12, 2015 (REPORT 45)                                     

LACTOSE - CENTRAL AND WEST                                                      

Lactose prices are unchanged and the market is flat. A few spot sales 
occurred into both export and domestic markets. However a number of 
manufacturers report relatively tight inventories without a lot of lactose 
available for spot sales. In some cases, shipments are being pushed back into 
2016. Some processors are concerned that there may be heavy inventories 
within second-tier markets. Lactose production is steady, with some 
manufacturers limiting production to what is sold. 

Including spot sales and up to 3 month contracts.                               
F.O.B. EDIBLE, NON PHARMACEUTICAL   .1400 - .2600    MOSTLY:   .1600 - .2100
