COMMENTS: Just a little cleanup reported today. This week business 
has been significantly higher and will most likely break the record weekly 
weighted averages set last week. So far, Southern live trade has been at $214 
to mostly $218, $5 to $6 higher than the prior week's weighted averages, 
while Northern dress deals have had a range of $340 to $352, mostly $350, $8 
higher than the previous week's weighted averages. While it is looking like 
the bulk of business is essentially done for the week a little clean up here 
and there tomorrow is not completely out of the question.
