DRY WHEY - NORTHEAST                                                 
                                                                     
Prices for dry whey moved higher as sales based on various indices increased 
the upper end of the range.  Production is increasing following the holiday 
week.  Demand has improved as dry whey is drawing more interest, because of 
being the lowest priced dairy protein on a per unit basis.  Supplies are 
tightening with some manufacturers sold out through the end of the year.  
Export interest remains good.  The market undertone continues to be firm.
