SEE FRIDAY'S DAILY DIRECT SLAUGHTER CATTLE 
NEGOTIATED PURCHASES SUMMARIES BELOW

DTN COMMENTS:  A typically quiet Monday with the cash trade at a virtual 
standstill. Bids and asking prices have yet to be established, but are 
suspected to start out higher again this week. New showlists appear to be 
higher in all major feeding areas. 

Today's slaughter totaled 122,000 head, 1,000 more than last week, and 
3,000 greater than a year ago. Cattle futures closed mixed, mostly higher 
on live contracts, up 72 to off 22. While feeder issues ended the day 
significantly to sharply higher, up 72 to 112. Beef cutouts are expected 
to close mixed with light to moderate box movement.
