FUTURES M ARKET TRENDS
GRAIN AND LIVESTOCK
ACRES CORN UPDATE:
Com futures today closed lower
but off session lows on renewed
buying tied to export rumors and
spillover strength from the soy
bean pits. Pressure throughout the
day was exerted by increasing sup
plies of free stocks due to 9-month
loan program redemptions. The
USDA announced after the close a
sale of 158,496 Metric tonnes to
unknown destinations. Generic
certificate bids weakened 1/2 per
cent today. September com closed
at $2.84-3/4, down 2-1/2 cents
after trading to a low earlier in the
session of $2.78.
ACRES SOYBEAN
UPDATE: Soybeans today closed
mostly higher gaining from 1/4 to
15 cents on rallving bean oil

ACRES CATTLE UPDATE:
Live cattle and feeder cattle futures
closed higher this afternoon gain
ing from 20 points in the feeders to
as much as 130 points on the
October live cattle. Continued
cash fundamental strength and
active boxed beef movement
ignited a short covering rally after
a mixed to lower opening. Pressure
early in the session was tied to lim
ited buying interest after a hefty
increase in open interest yesterday,
with the futures discount to cash
providing early support
