FOREIGN TYPE CHEESE                                              

Strong demand and tight supplies are helping support prices of 
foreign type cheese. Declining milk intakes have hampered cheese 
production and steady seasonal sales are keeping inventories 
relatively low, especially for cut cheese. Export opportunities are 
steady. Cheese makers expect revenue from sliced cheese to be higher 
for November deliveries. In the U.S., wholesale blue, gorgonzola, 
parmesan and Romano prices increased $.1675, while prices for Swiss 
cuts are up $.1850.
