DTN COMMENTS:  The country is quiet this morning although we have picked up 
a few early asking prices in parts of Kansas and Texas at $138 to $140. 
Packer inquiry should improve as the day progresses. Having said that, it is 
possible that significant trade volume may be delayed until Wednesday or 
later. Beef cutouts are expected to be higher with light to moderate box 
movement.
