OCT. DEC. FEB. 89 APR. Acres Corn Update: com futures today closed lower from 4-1/2 to 6-1/4 cents with selling featured on news of rainfall in parts of the belt overnight. Fore casts for additional storm activity added to the selling enthusiasm. July felt increased pressure on CCC com catalog woes, with many participants cautious. Support came from tumors of possible reductions in car ryout figures on tomorrow's USDA supply and demand reports, and continued ques tions about the effects the prolonged lack of rain would have on yield figures. Acres Soybean Update: soy bean futures closed sharply lower and near. session lows as forecasts for rainfall across the belt fueled liquidation of the weak longs. Technical support pared further los ses as November filled the gap between Monday's limit-up close and Friday’s limit-up close. Today’s expanded limits added to the bearish tone. November traded at a high of $8.86 early in the day, and settled at $8.62, down 28-1/2 cents from yesterday.

Belly weak ness was tied to slack retail demand and continued unprofitable packer margins. This morning’s delivery intentions report pressured the front months further along with steady to lower cash openings. A slight increase in receipts yesterday fueled selling interest on the opening along with plunging grain futures quotations thru out the session.
