DTN MORNING COMMENTS: It will probably be a typically quiet Monday morning 
with both packers and producers busy taking inventory and preparing for the 
week ahead. Bids and asking prices have yet to be established, and 
significant trade volume will likely be delayed until the second half of the 
week. Beef cutouts are expected to be lower with light box movement.
