DTN COMMENTS:  A few scattered deals are being reported in Texas this 
morning at fully steady money with yesterday's dealings. But bids in 
other areas are hard to find at this point. Asking prices are around 
$220-plus in the South, but still not fully established in the North. 
Yesterday saw a light trade in Kansas and Texas at $218 to $220, steady 
to $2 higher than last week's weighted averages. Beef cutouts are 
expected to be higher with light to moderate box movement.
