MADISON, WI.  June 24, 2015 (REPORT 25)                          

FOREIGN TYPE CHEESE                                              
                                                                 
Prices for domestic foreign type cheese moved significantly lower this 
week.  Active cheese production and expanding inventories contributed to 
the decline in prices.  Demand has weakened as most orders are in ahead 
of the July 4th holiday.  European cheese production has slowed as milk 
volumes are seasonally declining.
