DTN COMMENTS: Another very slow start to the morning. Asking prices for 
cattle left on showlists are around $183-plus in the South, and $292-plus 
in the North. Having said all of that, it looks like the bulk of business 
is essentially done for the week, but a little cleanup here and there is 
not out of the question. Beef cutouts are expected to be mixed with light 
to moderate box movement.

So far this week Northern dressed deals have had a range of $288 to $293, 
mostly $290 to $291, $1 to $2 lower than last week's weighted averages. 
Southern live transactions have been marked at $182 to $183, mostly $183 
fully steady with last week's weighted averages.
