MARKET TRENDS
GRAIN AND LIVESTOCK
ACRES CORN UPDATE:
Corn futures prices closed lower
today pressured by weaker cash
basis levels and spillover from
sharply lower soybeans. Further
pressure was linked to the pros
pects of increased barge traffic as
major tributaries begin to open
after the thaws. Commercials sold
heavy today with sales linked to
active com loan redemption pace.
For the week aided February 22,
11.4 million bushels was
redeemed from the regular load
and 1.8 million was redeemed
from the reserve. March ended
today’s session 2-3/4 cents lower
at $2.75-1/2 while the-Dec. option
traded 3/4 cents lower at

UPDATE: Soybean futures prices
plunged today on technical selling
coupled with reports of a drop in
the Brazilian basis. Weakness on
the opening was in response to fol
low through selling from yester
day’s lower closes and weaker
European markets. Reports of
favorable weather in Brazil’s bean
belt added to the pressure with
some trades thought to be South
American hedge related. March
closed 8-3/4 cents lower at
$7.55-1/2 while the November
option lost 5 cents at $7.37-1/2.
Losses of 10-1/4 to 10-3/4 cents
were recorded on the May through
August options.
ACRES WHEAT UPDATE;
Wheat futures settled lower from
1-3/4 to 4 cents on late session

selling linked to sharply lower
soybean prices. Long liquidation
throughout the session was
thought to be generated by over
bought conditions. Further pres
sure was attributed to the inability
of prices to move toward contract
highs, which left the market vul
nerable for a setback. Additional
selling was linked to the fairly
active redemption pace of wheat
from the regular loan stocks with
over 3-1/2 million bushels
redeemed during the week ended
February 22nd. March closed 4
cents lower at $4.30 while the July
lost 1-3/4 cents at $4.08.
