GENERAL COMMENTS:

   The livestock complex was well supported by traders as all three of the
markets closed higher Tuesday afternoon. Still no cash cattle trade has
developed, and trade will likely be delayed until Thursday or Friday. May corn
is up 4 1/2 cents per bushel and May soybean meal is down $0.40. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average is down 11.80 points.
