NORTHEAST WHOLESALE CHEESE:                                      

Wholesale cheese prices saw only an increase for process cheese, all 
other varieties held steady.  Cheese production is very strong, 
reflecting the near seasonal peak of milk production in the region.  
Supplies are building, even with fairly active demand.  There is steady 
demand for provolone and cheddar, while mozzarella sales have slowed.  
The CME Group daily cash price on Tuesday saw barrels close at $1.6375, 
up $0.0225 from a week ago, blocks closed at $1.6125, up $0.0025 from a 
week ago.
