Slow foreign interest weighed on wheat bids along with spillover weakness from bean pits.

Octover 1,2002 Report Supplied By USDA CORN BELT FEEDSTUFF: Whole sale Bids.

New England contacts report slightly lower receipts and steady to im proved Class I demand. Milk output in the Middle Atlantic area is mostly steady with bottled milk sales unchanged. In the Southeast, the milk flow is not increasing as some had expected. Florida's milk pro duction has not rebounded and milk im ports continue. Elsewhere in the South east, milk production is about steady. However, last week Isidore came ashore and caused quite a bit of damage. The same part of the country is bracing itself for Lili, a stronger storm that is due to make landfall late this week. Like last week, some dairy processing plants, in the projected path, are shutting down and di verting their milk to other operations. Recent reports of higher feed costs this winter and continued low milk prices are a concern to many in the industry. Throughout most of the Northeast, good quality hay and silage are expected to be in tight supply this winter. Grain prices are increasing as this year’s harvest/yields are rather dismal in parts of New York and New England. Bottled milk sales are holding at slow to fair levels. Some re ported retail features are helping sales in scattered areas. Surplus milk volumes are still lighter than expected and manufac- turing plants continue to operate on re duced schedules. The condensed skim market is little changed. Sales are mostly contractual, but some additional spot loads have been noted. The fluid cream market is mixed, but showing a little more weakness in some areas. Supplies are heavier than they have been and suppliers have extra loads, at midweek, that are still looking for a home. Multiples are steady tolower cou pled with the fractional drop in the CME weekly average did cause prices to move a little lower. Ice cream production is steady to slightly lower at most locations. Cream cheese output is off slightly. Cream suppliers report that spot demand from cream cheese producers has slowed this week and a big reason for cream sup plies being so long. Churning activity is about steady. Concrete Feed Blinks Dairy Products Prices Highlights Washington, D. C.
