FOREIGN TYPE CHEESE                                              

Foreign type cheese stocks continue to be tight. Manufacturers report 
low stock volumes coupled with strong demand have forced processors 
to make adjustments to deliveries and allocations. Cheese makers 
expect seasonally lower milk supplies and increasing cut cheese 
demand over the next few months. They anticipate the situation to 
drive potentially higher prices for foreign type cheese through the 
winter holidays. In the U.S., wholesale blue, gorgonzola, parmesan 
and Romano prices increased $.0100. The remaining prices are 
unchanged.
