FEB. 89 APR. JUNE AUG. OCT. Acres Corn Update: com futures settled lower this afternoon on sell ing fueled by shaip losses in the soy com plex. Today's closes were slightly higher than recent contract tows with some buy ing noted under the post harvest and post crop report low of $2.64 on the March option. Further pressure was linked to a slack near term export outlook along with news that Egypt had purchased French Maize instead of U.S. Com. Underlying support was provided by slack country movement and steady cash basis levels. March cloed at $2.64-3/4 after trading to a low of $2.63 shortly before the close. Acres Soybean Update: soy bean futures closed sharply lower, but off session lows today on session long selling in sympathy with a 12 week low in meal. Support earlier in the day was negated by the sell-off along with forecasts for light ' rainfall in Brazil. Ideas that a potentially larger Brazilian crop will offset any losses sustained in Argentina supplied additional pressure. March beans traded to a low of $7.41-1/2 shortly before noon and ended the day 11-1/2 cents lower at $7.46. s GRAIN, CATTLE AND HOG FUTURES MARKETS (Daily dosing bids: Friday, Feb. 3 through Thursday, Feb. 9) FRI.

THUR, Acres Wheat Update: wheat futures prices closed mostly one cent high er as early gains were pared by sharp losses in the soy complex. Support throughout the day was provided by news that the USSR was bidding today for 600,000 metric ton nes of export bonus wheat along with fore casts for less than adequate moisture for parts of the hard red belt. Underlying sup port also was provided by a light supply of deliverable wheat stored m Chicago. March, May and July all settled one cent higher while the September gained only 1/2 cent. Acres Cattle Update: Ltveand feeder cattle ended today's session mixed to mostly higher in light trading. Many par ticipants were sidelined in advance of this afternoon’s USDA Cattle Inventory Report which was expected to show yearling sup plies available for feedlots to be down from 3 to 5% from last year. Imual support on the opening was attributed to strong cash fundamentals. The USDA Cattle Inventory Report, released after the close was termed bearish and is as follows: k this issue Rve Sections In AlO ,B 3 AlO AlO 822, C 6 C 4 ,E 3 ElO Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 11,1989-A3 WHEAT FRI.

Ideas that futures had established a major bottom supplied further strength. This morning’s firmer cash maiket openings along with steady to higher wholesale values under pinned prices in addition to the unwinding of Cattle/Hog bear spreads tied to profit taking. Some positioning in advance of today's USDA Cattle Inventory report was noted. Bellies settled lower this afternoon as pressure from large kills continued.
