DTN COMMENTS:  The country is quiet this afternoon, with just a few 
scattered sales reported sold in parts of Texas this morning at $255, 
certainly not enough to establish an accurate trend for the week. Some 
$255 bids are on the table in parts of Kansas. It is still looking like 
significant trade volume could be delayed until Wednesday or later. 

Today's slaughter totaled 110,000 head, 1,000 less than last week, and 
9,000 less than a year ago. Cattle futures closed sharply lower on both 
live (off 95 to 180) and feeder (down 220 to 355) contracts. Beef cutouts 
are expected to close higher with moderate to good box movement.
