DTN Closing Livestock Comment 06/26 15:19
   Cattle Drift Lower While Hogs Inch Higher Through Friday's Close

   Traders weren't willing to advance the cattle contracts without first seeing
what the cash cattle market would accomplish.

GENERAL COMMENTS:

   By Friday's close, the livestock complex had successfully kept with its
mixed trend through the week's very end as cattle closed lower, but the lean
hog contracts saw some mild support. At the time of this writing, only a small
trade had developed in the cash cattle market, but prices were mixed, with
Southern cattle trading $1.00 lower and Northern cattle trading $1.00 higher.
July corn is down 2 cents per bushel and July soybean meal is down $1.20. The
Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 44.51 points and the NASDAQ is down 60.98
points.
