GENERAL COMMENTS:

   It was another brutal day for the cattle complex as the market remains on
edge, knowing that Agriculture Secretary Rollins is meeting with Mexico's
agricultural minister. Cash cattle prices traded $2.00 lower in both the North
and the South. December corn is down 4 3/4 cents per bushel and December
soybean meal is up $1.80. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 472.51 points
and the NASDAQ is up 263.07 points.
