The pressure in the front months continued in response to the down trending posted county prices. Support came from relatively light cash movement, with traders anticipat ing an increase after the holidays. Further support came from spillov er action in the soybeans. Certifi cate premiums started a 1/2% higher this morning, but backed down midday. December com expired today at noon, posting* a 1/2 cent loss at $1.79-1/2.

November ’BB beans made a new contract high with a close just shy of today’s high. Beans gained further strength on ideas that this market would have to buy more acreage after the set-aside proposal failed; and as the crush basis con tinued to show improvement. December meal expired today at noon, up $ 3.90 at $207.50. This led market watchers to believe further buying was in store. Janu ary soybeans closed up 9-1/4 cents at $6.01-3/4.

News that Chi na did not purchase soft red wheat Friday set off a flurry of long liqui dation. Further pressure came from thoughts of last Friday’s auc tion with the USDA announcing sales of 23.7 million bushels after the close. The December option expired at noon today, with a loss of 1-1/4 cent at $3.10-3/4. ACRES CATTLE UPDATE: Live and feeder cattle futures closed mostly lower again today with selling featured on ideas that dressed beef and cut-out prices would be lower. Follow-through selling from Friday’s closes on the opening set the tone early with los ses limited by the futures’discount to cash.
