GENERAL COMMENTS:

   After a couple weeks of dramatic trading, it was somewhat of a relief to end
this week on a mild note. Nothing catastrophic, nothing wild, just a typical
Friday where the cattle complex drifted slightly lower and the hog complex
found some mild support ahead of the day's end. December corn is up 1 1/4 cents
per bushel and December soybean meal is up $6.00. The Dow Jones Industrial
Average is up 40.75 points and NASDAQ is up 143.82 points.
