COMMENTS: At the time of this close only a handful of live trade had 
been reported sold in KS at $228, $2 lower than last week's weighted average. 
A very light dressed trade was reported in the North at mostly $354 to $355, 
steady to $1 higher than last week's weighted average, but $3 to $4 lower 
than yesterday's business. If we pick up any more sales a little later today, 
we will update them here.
