COMMENTS: A light trade in parts of the South at $106, steady with 
last week's weighted averages. A very light mostly live trade was also 
reported in the North at $103 to $104, steady to $1 lower than last week's 
weighted average basis Nebraska. Dressed biz ranged from $158 to $163, not 
really enough to establish an accurate trend.
