FOREIGN TYPE CHEESE  

Cheese stocks in Western Europe remain tight, limited by lower 
milk production. This is quite similar to recent weeks. Few 
voices are heard expecting much of a change in the near term. 
The bulk of cheese currently manufactured is committed prior to 
production. In the U.S., wholesale Swiss cuts Switzerland prices 
increased $.2250. The remaining prices are unchanged.
