COMMENTS:   Another very quiet day with the cash cattle trade at a 
complete standstill. Some Southern asking prices of $205-plus were noted 
today, but they are still not established in the North. Bids remain very hard 
to find. Significant trade volume will likely be delayed until much later in 
the week.
