DTN COMMENTS:  A few more bids are now on the table in parts of Nebraska, 
and packer inquiry should continue to improve as the day progresses. Some 
asking prices have been noted around $235 to $238 in the South, but they 
are not established in the North. Significant trade volume will likely be 
delayed until later today and/or Friday.
