GENERAL COMMENTS:

   It was a mixed day for the livestock complex as cattle rounded out the week
on a slightly lower note, but the lean hog complex closed higher as Thursday's
support carried the market through Friday's end. Hog prices closed lower on the
Daily Direct Afternoon Hog Report, down $3.27 with a weighted average of $85.08
on 3,016 head. December corn is up 8 cents per bushel and December soybean meal
is down $4.20. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 500.10 points.
