DTN COMMENTS:  The country remains fairly quiet this afternoon with just a 
few bids on the table in parts of Nebraska. Asking prices are around $112 to 
$113 in the South, but not established in the North. Significant trade 
volume will likely be delayed until Wednesday or later. 

Today's slaughter totaled 122,000 head, even with both a week and year ago. 
Cattle futures closed mostly moderately higher on live contracts (up 30 to 
80) and moderately to sharply higher on feeders (up 60 to 110). Beef cutouts 
are expected to close mixed with light to moderate box movement.
