FOREIGN TYPE CHEESE                                              
                                                                 
Prices for domestic foreign type cheese rebounded from the previous 
week's decline. Prices for imported and Swiss cheese were unchanged. 
Demand has weakened, compared to previous weeks, not unexpected for this 
time of year. Domestic cheese supplies are readily available for nearly 
all varieties. The favorable foreign currency exchange rates continue to 
keep the imported cheese market fairly active. European cheese production 
has declined, due to declining milk production and the desire by cheese 
makers not to get into an oversupply position.
