GENERAL COMMENTS:

   It was a fruitful day for the livestock contracts as the markets closed
higher thanks to greater trader interest and support. New showlists appear to
be mixed, higher in Kansas and Texas, but lower in Nebraska/Colorado. July corn
is up 5 3/4 cents per bushel and July soybean meal is up $8.70. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average is down 62.92 points and the NASDAQ is up 50.50 points.
