ACRES CORN UPDATE:
Com futures settled higher and
near the highs of the day supported
by a improving export picture and
spillover support from soybean
futures. Traders were buyers on
indications of possible purchases
from Mexico and the South
Korean com processing industry
along with the tenders by Taiwan
on Friday night and South Korea
on Monday. Also supporting com
was increased talk that Spain may
buy U.S. com under a private
agreement made between the U.S.
and Spain before Spain entered
into-the EEC.
Nearby December remained
strong relative to deferrcds on the
continued thin delivery pace
against the spot contract and con
tinued heavy entries of com into
the CCC loan program.

ACRES SOYBEAN
UPDATE: Soybean futures
settled higher but below session
highs, pressured on the close by
light commercial and professional
selling. Soybeans rallied after mid
day supported by stronger soymeal
prices. A session long rally in soy
meal from lows set on the opening
gradually tod: hold in soybeans,
with gains magnified in thin trad
ing by the triggering of buy-stops.
The commercial interest fueled
local buying in soymeal and then
soybeans on ideas the purchases
could represent pricing for export
business. However, no specific
talk was apparent on soymeal
export sales. Deferred soybeans
drew support from expectations
for a cut in 1987-88 soybean carry
out to be shown in USDA’s
supply/demand report Thursday.

ACRES WHEAT UPDATE:
Wheat futures settled mostly high
er on the day. Wheat futures were
supported throughout the day on
indications of pending export
bonus business has been com
pleted with China, USSR and
Poland. Wire reports that the U.S.
probably will offer additional
export bonus wheat to China also
offered support to prices. Limiting
price increases was the CCC offer
ings of up to 20 million bushels of
wheat at this Friday’s wheat auc
tion. .
ACRES CATTLE UPDATE:
Live cattle futures settled higher as
the deferred contracts paced an
afternoon rally. Buying interest
came from ideas the market was
oversold and due for a correctional
adjustment. Positioning before
next Tuesday’s cattle-on-feed
report also supported the defer
reds. The report is expected to
show light placements through
November in the seven states. Live
cattle futures opened lower, and
