FOREIGN TYPE CHEESE   

Demand for cheese manufactured in Europe is steady. Supplies have 
been available to meet current demand although, only by dipping into 
manufacturer inventories. The weaker Euro is helping to boost export 
opportunities. For the coming weeks leading to Easter, internal 
European demand for cheese is expected to increase.
