IA $371.18 ($372.85); CO was not available due to confidentiality. (the prior

trade, weekly accumulated weighted averages in the South are likely to be
somewhat lower when summaries are released later today.

DTN MORNING COMMENTS: It looks to be a typically quiet Monday morning with
both buyers and sellers busy taking inventory and preparing for the week
ahead. Bids and asking prices have yet to be established, and significant
trade volume will likely be delayed until well into the second half of the
week. Beef cutouts are expected to be higher with light box movement.
