soymeal pits. Rumors of Soviet
interest in purchasing Argentine
soypellets which spurred meal to
gain 280 to 320 points midday.
Rain-delayed harvest conditions
continue to be supportive along
with the firmer tone in CIF and
FOB markets as light farmer sell
ing continues. Further buying was
fueled by ideas that the USSR
grain harvest was stalled by weath
er problems. Beans came under
pressure from ideas that CCC bean
resales would be accelerated.

slipping from session highs on a
wave or profit taking. Rumors of
Soviet harvest problems and labor
problems spurred buying midway
through the session. Further buy
ing today came on the continuing
hope that China would soon be in
the market for the rest of their
640,000 MT of U.S. export bonus
wheat, if available. Gains were
pared by the inability of prices to
push through technical resistance
near $3.00 in December.

prices collapsed under the weight
of aggressive cash-connected and
commission house long liquida
tion. The lower prices were tied to
bearish sentiment over the
USDA’s 7-State Cattle-on-Feed
report which showed record
August placements. Feeders
opened lower and continued lower
throughout the session, pressured
by spillover weakness from the
live cattle pit. A shift in basis Tues
day, with futures turning discount
to cash for the first time in 3 weeks
prompted selling.

ACRES HOG UPDATE: Live
hog futures closed lower today in
sympathy with the losses in the
cattle pits and the dramatic drop in
pork cut-out values. The drop in
pork prices prompted lower-than
expected cash hog bids from pack
ers and lent pressure to futures.
Upward price moves were kept in
check by ideas of Iwoer midday
pork product prices. The midday
National Provisioner reported
hams $l.OO to $2.00 lower, bellies
$l.OO to $3.00 lower and Loins
$3.50 to $B.OO lower.
