Acres Corn Update:
Com futures edged a little higher today
with the spot option closing unchanged
while the other months gained from 3/4 to
2-1/2 cents. Support early in the session
was generated by export talk and rumors
that the Soviets would be purchasing more
com today. The USDA announced after the
dose another sale of 250,000 metric tonnes
to the USSR. Early gains evaporated as
wheat prices began to fall sharply. Support
came from news that warehousemen would
not store com above 20 parts per billion
aflatoxin along with the latest forecast call
ing for rain to move into parts of the mid
west thereby stalling the harvest.
Acres Soybean Update
Soybean futures closed higher in the
front 6 options from 2-1/2 to 5-1/2 cents
with the September and November 1989
trading 2 to 4 cents lower. Today’s closes
were well below session highs with support
coming from rain forecasts which could
delay the harvest Spillover pressure from
plunging wheat prices dropped beans off

their highs in the free of long liquidation on
weakening technicals. Pre-estimates for
Friday’s stocks report came in at .286 bil
lion bushels which compares to the Septem
ber Ist figure of .436 billion bushels. Meal
closed from 70 to 290 points higher sup
ported by rumors of a major purchase this
morning.
Acres Wheat Update
Wheat futures today closed sharply low
er losting from 4-1/2 to 7 cents m a late sell
ing tied to weakening technical factors.
Support throughout the session was attri
buted to optimism over the export picture,
but as one Urge player liquidated, others
joined in and frantically sold. December
tested but failed to widen the support and
resistance limits of $4.15 and $4.25 per
bushel in which it has been confined for the
Ust several weeks.
Acres Cattle Update
Live cattle and feeder cattle futures
dosed mixed again today with the spot

strength. Further support was linked to
expectations for steady to higher carcass
beef quotes and light deliveries on first
notice day. Feeders mirrored live cattle
activity with the spot month closing 37
points higher in position offsetting in
advance of its expiration tomorrow. Long
liquidation pressured the deferreda today
encountering stiff resistance near contract
highs.

Acres Hog Update
Live hog futures settled lower again
today losing from 45 points m the farm
deferred to 90 points on the spot option.
Pressure was attributed to cash market
weakness coupled with continued ongoing
large runs. Further selling this afternoon
was generated by fears of continued large
receipts tomorrow after a lower midday
product quote. Bellies closed from 95 to
123 points lower on follow through from
yesterday’s sharply lower closes.
