DTN COMMENTS: Just a few scattered bids remain on the table, but these bids 
remain far from current asking prices of around $116 to $117 in the South, 
and $178 to $180 plus in the North. It is looking like significant trade may 
follow the trend of the last couple of weeks and not develop until sometime 
Friday. 

Today's slaughter totaled 119,000 head, 3,000 more than last week, but 3,000 
below a year ago. Live cattle futures closed mostly modestly higher (up 55 
to off 20), while feeder issues ended the day mostly moderately higher (up 
100 to off 35) spot November was the only contract to end in the red. Beef 
cutouts are expected to close higher with light to moderate box movement.
