FOREIGN TYPE CHEESE                                              
                                                                 
Some domestic foreign type cheese prices moved lower this week. Prices 
for imported and Swiss cheese are steady. Demand for import cheese and 
domestic varieties are steady, as fairly good interest flows from food 
service. European cheese production is showing a slight decline, a 
reflection of drops in milk production. Aged cheese stocks are at 
seasonal levels.
