DTN MORNING COMMENTS: The country is quiet this morning with 
both packers and producers busy taking inventory. Bids and 
asking prices are not established as of yet. Significant trade 
volume will likely be delayed until the second half of the 
week. Beef cutouts are expected to be higher with generally 
light box movement.
