GRAIN AND LIVESTOCK ACRES CORN UPDATE: Com futures prices closed mixed this afternoon with the front two options losing from 3/4 to 1-1/4 cents while the deferreds closed from unchanged to 2 cents higher on the December 1989 contract. Spillover from weaker soybean futures pressured the nearby months while the deferreds gained on buying tied to a brighter export outlook. Today’s session was characterized by narrow range trading which was attributed to continued fundamental strength. Some May/March spreading was featured later in the session, with March ending the day 1-1/4 cents lower at $2.84.
