   It was another lower-trending day for the livestock markets as fear and
worry continue to drive traders to send the contracts lower.

GENERAL COMMENTS:

   It was another lower-waning day for the livestock complex as the lean hog
market isn't seeing the consumer support it wishes to see, and the cattle
complex remains on edge following the slew of events that have sent prices
crashing lower. No new cash cattle trade developed throughout the day. December
corn is up 3 1/4 cents per bushel and December soybean meal is up $8.30. The
Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 161.78 points and the NASDAQ is up 190.03
points.
