ACRES CORN UPDATE;
Com futures reversed yesterday’s
losses and closed from 1-3/4 to
2-1/4 cents higher. Buying late in
the session was linked to spillover
from higher wheat prices and
rumors of possible exort interest.
Opening strength was tied to yes
terday’s USDA decision to make
1989 deficiency payments in cash
rather than generic certificates.
Gains were pared by some catalog
hedging and professional selling.
Generic certificate bids improved
1/4 to 1/2% with bids ranging
from 98-1/2 to face value.
ACRES SOYBEAN
UPDATE: Soybean futures added
to yesterday’s gains and closed
from 2 cents higher on the Sep
tember to 5 cents higher on the
March and July options. Deferred
