DTN Closing Livestock Comment 07/18 15:53
   Cattle Remain Lackluster While Hogs Rally into Weekend

   It was a mixed day for the livestock complex, as the cattle contracts
weren't able to gain support from traders. However, the lean hog contracts
advanced amid increased pork demand.

GENERAL COMMENTS:

   It was a lethargic day for the cattle contracts as traders let the contracts
drift lower through the day's end. Meanwhile, the lean hog complex was able to
keep its momentum through the week's closing as pork demand has strengthened.
September corn is up 6 1/2 cents per bushel and August soybean meal is up
$5.30. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 191.14 points and the NASDAQ is
up 2.10 points.
