DTN COMMENTS: The country is slow to start this morning, bids and asking 
prices are scarce. A light to moderate trade has been reported in most areas 
this week, and it has been yet another week of huge price ranges. Northern 
dressed trade has had a full range of $170 to $187 (a $17 difference), while 
Southern live deals have had a full range of $105 to $118 (a $13 
difference). While we may see a little more business today, it is very 
possible that cash trade could essentially be completed for the week. Beef 
cutouts are expected to be lower with light to moderate box movement.
