DTN COMMENTS:  A few bids are now on the table at midmorning following 
another round of light business yesterday. Asking prices for cattle left 
on showlists are around $221-plus in the South, and $356-plus in the 
North. So far this week, Northern dressed deals have been marked at 
mostly $355, $6 higher than last week's weighted average, basis Nebraska, 
a Regional paid as much as $360 for some cattle set for delayed delivery 
(the week of May 26th). The South had live sales marked at $218 to $221, 
mostly $219 to $220, $1 to $2 higher than last week's weighted averages. 
Beef cutouts are expected to be higher with light to moderate box 
movement.
