DTN COMMENTS: All remains quiet in the country this afternoon with bids and 
asking prices still not fully established. Significant trade volume will 
likely be delayed until Wednesday or later. 

Today's slaughter totaled 120,000 head, 1,000 below both a week and year 
ago. Cattle futures closed mostly modestly lower on live contracts (off 20 
to 50) and mostly sharply lower on feeder issues (off 130 to 177), the lone 
exception was spot May which ended the day up 22 points. Beef cutouts are 
expected to close lower with light to moderate box movement.
