COMMENTS:   A light trade was reported in parts of the North today with 
dressed deals sporting a huge range of $358 to $370, mostly $360, $2 higher 
than last week's weighted average. The South remained fairly quiet with a 
handful sold in KS at $224 to $227, certainly not enough to establish an 
accurate trend for the week.
