ACRES WHEAT UPDATE:
Wheat futures settled higher, .but
off session highs on selling asso
ciated with profit-taking. The con
tinued talk of quality concerns in
European wheat underpinned
prices along with ideas that the
Soviet Union might be looking at
another 2.0 to 4.0 MMT of US

from steady to higher Gulf basis
levels and yesterday’s higher

cent to 3-1/2 cents today with the
December closing at $2.96-1/2, up
2-1/2.
