GENERAL COMMENTS:

   It was a mixed day for the livestock complex as traders were apprehensive to
overly support the livestock contracts, which ultimately led to the market's
mostly lower close. A small movement of cattle was noted in the South where
live cattle traded for $201, which is steady with last week's weighted average.
March corn is up 5 3/4 cents per bushel and March soybean meal is up $13.80.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 537.98 points.
