Acres Corn Update: com
futures narrowly mixed from gams of 3/4
cent to losses of 3/4 cent Pressure was attri
buted to an increase m movement and sales
by C&D of 6 million bushels. 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.

Acres Wheat Update: wheat
futures closed from lower and at session
lows as heavy selling by C&D Commodi
ties pressured prices. 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

Acres Hog Update: Live hog
futures settled from 8 to 42 points higher
with buying featured on fuming cash fun
damentals and spillover strength from the
cattlepits Losses in pork bellies and ideas
that cash hogs would trade lower tomorrow
pared further gams Buying enthusiasm was
restrained by concerns over sulfamethazine
residue levels in U S. pork shipped to
Japan Bellies were pressured by specula
tion that the weekly out-of-town storage
report would be higher than earlier
expected
ACRES NEXT DAY OUTLOOK cash
