Support came from yesterday’s announcement of a 300,000 metric tonne sale to the USSR March closed up 3/4 at $2 01-1/2 while July lost 1/4 at $2.11. Acres Soybean Update: s oy beans futures settled higher, but off session highs. Buying near the close was thought to be short-covering in front of tomorrow’s USDA supply and demand reports. Further support came from ideas that the pit had become oversold and was due for a correc tion. Old crop beans were supported by tight supplies and good export demand, with upside potential limited by the upcom ing South American onslaught. March beans traded m a 5 cent range and closed m the middle at $6 17, up 3-1/2.

Pressure on the open ing was generated by lower-than-expected export inspections and ongoing concerns relative to the CCC auctions. March closed 4-1/4 lower at $2.99 while July lost 4-3/4 at $3.13-3/4. Acres Cattle Update: Live cattle and feeder cattle futures closed sharp ly higher again this afternoon as prices were boosted by strengthening cash fundamen tals with reports of sales at $71.50. April live cattle met stiff resistance at $72.40 but broke through and settled near the top Buy ing was also attributed to advances in cut out values Spillover strength from the live cattle fueled advances in feeders but large gains were pared by lower trending cash prices FEEDER CATTLE SETTLEMENT PRICE 03/04/88 $8093 dn $ .25.
