FUTURES MARKET TRENDS
GRAIN AND LIVESTOCK
ACRES CORN UPDATE:
Com futures settled mixed today
with a fractional higher close for
the March option and 1 cent lower
for September. Back month com
was pressured by ideas that the
USDA would not lake any mea
sures to increase bean acreage.
Yesterday’s lower than expected
weekly export inspections pres
sured the nearbys earlier with late
support coming from the fact that
the selling just plain dried up. PIK
and Roll opportunities have dried
up with certificate premiums a
little softer.
ACRES SOYBEAN
UPDATE: Soybeans settled
sharply lower this afternoon with
losses ranging from 10 to 11-1/2

cents. Once the March broke
through key support of $6.00, a
wave of technical selling plunged
prices lower. There was a small
rally midday based on news that
the USDA was not going to take
measures to increase acreage, but
weakness in the oil and meal was
more than the market could stand.
Further weakness came from the
favorable growing conditions
enjoyed by Brazil and Argentina
and news that trading had been
halted on the Milan Stock
Exchange forFerruzzi Montedison
(a major ag conglomerate) based
on fears that the company would
liquidation large com and bean
positions. The March closed at
$5.97, down 11-1/4 cents while
November lost 12 cents at

ACRES WHEAT UPDATE:
Wheat settled from 1-1/4 to 2-1/2
cents lower today in a late selling
frenzy touched off by weakness in
the soybean pits. Friday’s light
auction provided support during
the day along with a good export
lineup. Some felt that yesterday’s
late gains in response to a possible
Soviet chemical spill were over
done. This week’s auction looks
like it will not generate as much
anxiety as the usual ones because
the wheat remaining in the catalog
for sale is accessible. March closed
at $3.26-3/4, down 2-1/2 after
posting a high of $3.30-1/2 earlier
in the day.
