GENERAL COMMENTS:

   It was a rough day throughout the livestock complex as the market saw
pressure abound technically as fundamental support continues to lag. No
substantial cash cattle trade has developed yet this week, but packer interest
is expected to increase by Thursday. Hog prices closed lower on the Daily
Direct Afternoon Hog Report, down $0.01 with a weighted average price of $92.02
on 10,684 head. July corn is up 4 cents per bushel and July soybean meal is
down $2.90. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 87.37 points.
