   GENERAL COMMENTS:

   Feeder cattle contracts suffered the most Wednesday, although live cattle
contracts didn't stake by unharmed either. Hog prices are lower on the National
Direct Afternoon Hog Report, down $0.49 with a weighted average of $42.24.
December corn is down 2 1/2 cents per bushel and December soybean meal is up
$1.80. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 92 point and the NASDAQ is down 4
points.
