FOREIGN TYPE CHEESE                                              
                                                                 
Prices for domestic foreign type cheeses moved higher this week, while 
imported and Swiss cheese prices were unchanged.  Demand for imported and 
domestic foreign type cheese varieties has been good ahead of the 
upcoming holiday.  European stocks of aged cheeses are low, having seen 
good domestic and export demand over the past number of weeks.  
Maturation warehouse stocks are very low in Europe and additional orders 
are not being accepted.
