FOREIGN TYPE CHEESE   

Supplies of cheese manufactured in Western Europe continue to be 
tight. Manufacturing has not kept up with demand, primarily due 
to volumes of milk supplies. In the U.S., wholesale blue, 
gorgonzola, parmesan and Romano prices declined $.0075. The 
remaining prices are unchanged.
