FOREIGN TYPE CHEESE   

Europe has absorbed extra holiday milk over the last holiday weeks, with 
some going into cheese production. Retail cheese sales in Europe are 
expected to slow in January, which will lead to some reduction in cheese 
production there. In the U.S., Domestic Swiss prices adjusted down 4 
cents and the remaining domestic foreign type cheese prices in the U.S. 
adjusted up 4 cents.
