DTN COMMENTS:  A light dressed trade has been reported in parts of 
Nebraska at $376, $4 lower than last week's weighted averages. The rest 
of cattle country is very quiet. 

Today's slaughter totaled 113,000 head, 3,000 more than last week, but 
7,000 below a year ago. Cattle futures closed mixed, mostly higher with 
nearbys faring better than deferreds, on both live (up 105 to off 120) 
and feeder (up 90 to off 140) contracts. Beef cutouts are expected to 
close higher with light to moderate box movement.
