GENERAL COMMENTS

   The livestock complex closed mixed with the cattle contracts rallying as the
nearby corn contracts closed lower and with the hope that the cash sector will
trade higher again this week. Meanwhile, the lean hog market closed lower with
pork demand not showing traders enough assurance to push prices higher. Hog
prices are unavailable on the Daily Direct Afternoon Hog Report due to packer
submission issues. March corn is down 1 3/4 cents per bushel and January
soybean meal is down $4.10. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 3.07 points.
