LACTOSE - CENTRAL AND WEST                                                      

The top end of the lactose mostly price series moved higher this week. Domestic 
and export demand is good. Recent price increases have spurred further interest 
as buyers seek to gain coverage for lactose needs later in the year. Some 
manufacturers report regular customers are asking for additional loads to be 
added to their requests. Lactose inventories across the nation are largely 
tight, especially for higher mesh sizes. Although several plants recently had 
down time for unscheduled repairs, lactose production is steady and active.

Including spot sales and up to 3 month contracts.                               
F.O.B. EDIBLE, NON PHARMACEUTICAL   .2300 - .3800    MOSTLY:   .2700 - .3500
