ACRES CORN UPDATE:
Com futures prices ended
today’s session lower from 1/2 to
2 cents after yesterday’s
announcement that the Soviets
had purchased 550,000 metric
tonnes of com, which was less
than anticipated. Selling was held
at a minimum of ideas dial further
sales would be announced. The
USDA announced after today’s
close a sale pf 450,000 metric ton
nes of com to the USSR, which
now brings their purchases over
the last two days to 1.0 million
metric tonnes. New crop months
were weaker relative to the old
crop months on ideas that recent
rainfall will improve soil moisture
conditions. Pre-release estimates
for Friday’s planting report were
quoted today at 75.4 million acres

ACRES SOYBEAN
UPDATE: Soybean futures prices
continued their downtrend and
settled from 1-3/4 to 5 cents lower
today. Professional long liquida
tion continued today in advance of
Friday’s reports with many traders
sidelined awaiting the news. Pre
release estimates put the crop at
62,1 million acres which com
nares with 58.87 last year. The
10/25 program attracted 2.8 mil
lion acres. Further pressure today
was attributed to ongoing favor
able weather conditions and news
of improving moisture conditions.

higher in quiet trading with many
participants sidelined in advance
of Friday’s USDA Grain Stocks

Support was attributed to ideas of
increased export interest while
gains were held in check by the
possibility of rainfall in parts of
Kansas today. Some long liquida
tion was featured early in the ses
sion. Pre-release estimates for
spring wheat were reported today
