COMMENTS:  A light trade was reported in most areas today with 
Southern live deals marked at $187 to $188, steady to $1 higher than last 
week's weighted averages. Northern dressed sales were at $296, fully steady 
with last week's weighted averages. While it looks like the bulk of business 
may be essentially done for the week, a little clean up will likely take 
place at some point on Friday.
