ACRES CORN UPDATE: Com futures gave back most of yesterday’s gains and ended today’s session from 1-1/2 to 2-3/4-cents lower. Initial pressure was attributed to profit taking from yesterday’s gains with furth er selling linked to the continued absence of a confirmation of sales to the USSR. Spillover weakness from sharply lower soybean prices encouraged further selling along with limit lower oat closes. Ongo ing slack country movement proved supportive along with higher cash basis levels. March dropped 2 cents today and ended at $2.70-1/4.
