GENERAL COMMENTS:

   It was a fruitful day for the livestock complex as all three markets saw
their contracts close mostly higher, the cash cattle market saw a thin movement
of cattle trade in the South for steady to $1.00 higher and packers were
aggressive in this afternoon's cash hog market. Asking prices in the South
remain firm at $201 to $205 but are still not established in the North. March
corn is up 4 1/4 cents per bushel and March soybean meal is down $3.80. The Dow
Jones Industrial Average is up 703.27 points.
