DTN MORNING COMMENTS: It looks like it will be a typically 
quiet Monday with both packers and producers busy taking 
inventory. Bids and asking prices will not likely be 
established. Significant trade volume will probably be delayed 
until Wednesday or later. Beef cutouts are expected to be 
higher with generally light box movement.
