FOREIGN TYPE CHEESE                                              
                                                                 
Domestic foreign type cheese prices increased this week, while imports 
and Swiss prices were unchanged.  Demand continues to hold steady for 
most varieties of imported and domestic foreign type cheese.  Supplies 
remain readily available as domestic stocks have been rebuilt.  Cheese 
going into aging programs is active.
