FOREIGN TYPE CHEESE    

Recent price increases in the EU for sliced cheese have slowed. EU 
cheese stocks remain lower than desirable. Milk supplies continue to 
be a restraining factor on cheese production. In the U.S., wholesale 
blue, gorgonzola, parmesan and Romano prices decreased $.0650, and 
all other varieties are unchanged.
