GENERAL COMMENTS

   Overall, the livestock complex had a mixed day following Monday's wild
success, as traders weren't as aggressive in Tuesday's market. The live cattle
complex was able to close the day out higher, but that's largely due to the
onset of strength in boxed beef prices. Hog prices closed lower on the Daily
Direct Afternoon hog report, down $0.20 with a weighted average of $75.64 on
11,025 hogs. May corn closed down 1 cent at $6.473, and May soybean meal closed
up $11.90 at $457.9. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 37.83 at
32,394.25.
