DTN COMMENTS:  A light trade is developing in parts of the North with 
dressed deals marked at $292, $2 lower than last week's weighted average 
basis Nebraska. Most asking prices remain firm around $184 to $185 in the 
South, and $295-plus in the North. Beef cutouts are expected to be lower 
with light to moderate box movement.
