DTN Closing Livestock Comment 04/29 15:49
   Cautious Tones Dominate Monday's Livestock Complex

   Heading into Tuesday's market traders may be slightly more apt to support
the contracts as both pork and beef demand was slightly stronger at Monday's
close.

GENERAL COMMENTS:

   It was a quiet day throughout the livestock complex as not much developed
from either a technical or fundamental stance. Traders could be slightly more
aggressive in the contracts on Tuesday as both pork cutout values and boxed
beef prices closed higher. Hog prices closed lower on the Daily Direct
Afternoon Hog Report, down $0.75 with a weighted average price of $89.63 on
1,095 head. July corn is down 3/4 cent per bushel and July soybean meal is up
$9.60. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 146.43 points.
