DTN MORNING COMMENTS: It looks to be another typical Monday morning with both
buyers and sellers busy taking inventory. Bids and asking prices are yet to
be established. Significant trade volume will likely be delayed until much
later in the week. Beef cutouts are expected to be lower with light box
movement.
