ACRES SOYBEAN UPDATE:
Soybean settled sharply higher
near session highs on heavy
professional buying. During the
session rumors that a Brazilian
processor had defaulU?P?K meal
export business encourged ideas
that this could happen again.
Rumors also circulated that the
Soviets were interested in US com
and meal which added to the
bullish tone. It looks like the
