DTN COMMENTS: The country is quiet this morning with the bulk of business 
essentially done for the week. Having said that, a little cleanup here and 
there is not out of the question. Asking prices for cattle left on showlists 
are around $138 in the South, and $225 in the North. Beef cutouts are 
expected to be lower with light to moderate box movement.

So far this week, Southern live trade has been marked at mostly $137, $1 
lower than last week's weighted averages. Northern dressed deals were at 
mostly $223, generally $3 lower than last week's weighted averages basis 
Nebraska.
