ACRES CORN UPDATE:
Com futures closed mixed today
gaining 1 and 1/4 on the December
option and losing from 1-1/2 to
1- on the back options. Trading
was quiet today with many traders
absent for the holiday. Support in
the ncarbys was generated by
strong cash basis levels and a fir
mer export line-up while the defer
reds were pressured by the
unwinding of bear spreads. Some
support came from a slow down in
the harvest and rumors of
increased aflatoxin levels in lowa
and Illinois. The September option
expired midday at $2.76-1/2, up
2- cents.
ACRES SOYBEAN
UPDATE; Soybean futures closed

afternoon but off session highs on $4.05, up 1/2. Commission buying
late profit-taking. Support early in was featured today. Optimism
the session was attributed to firmer over a possible accord with the
European values and possible Soviet Union on a long term grain
harvest delays due to forecasts for agreement underpinned
continued rain. Further support
was linked to strength in the cash
basis levels and a solid near term
export lineup. September expired
midday at $8.27-1/2. Trading
today was quiet with many players
absent due to the religious holiday.
ACRES WHEAT UPDATE;
Wheat futures today closed from
unchanged to up 1/2 cent after
trading in a narrow range through

came from a solid export outlook

ACRES CATTLE UPDATE:
Live cattle futures settled lower
this afternoon on selling largely
associated with weaker cash fun
damentals and light movement at
Iwoer prices. Further pressure was
linked to a sharp decline in open
interest on Tuesday and concerns
about the heavier weights on cur
rent marketings. Feeder cattle
futures mirrored live cattle losing
from 47 to 92 points on spillover
weakness and long liquidation and
profit taking.
