Acres Corn Update: Closing
com futures gained 2 cents on the spot
option and closed 3/4 cents lower on the
deferred May. Buying was linked to
rumors that the Soviets would bid for an
additional 200,000 MT of com, which was
confirmed after the close. Further support
was attributed to firmer basis levels along
with ideas that the recent price breaks
would attract more export business. Ideas
the market had become oversold added
technical support. Generic certificate tids
remained steady today.
Acres Soybean Update: soy
bean futures prices added from 1/4 to 8
cents to yesterday’s gpins m another con
solidating session. Bearish percepnpns
toward the cash market kept the nearbys on

the defensive throughout the day. The My/
November spread narrowed to 11-1/2 cents
from 19-1/2 cents yesterday. Near term
pressure was attributed to weaker GIF and
FOB values along with weak export
demand. The harvest in Brazil is said to be
15% complete. Trading in the deferreds
was fairly quiet with activity today cen
tered on the old crop months. November
ended 6 cents higher at $7 11-1/2 while the
May closed 1/4 cent higher at $7 15.
Acres Wheat Update; wheat
futures prices closed higher from 1 cent to
3 cents on buying linked to news that Chi
na was bidding on 300,000 metric tonnes
under their export bonus. Further support
was attributed to ideas that recent losses
were overdone with uncertainty over
recent export rumors limiting price rallies
Some May/July spreading was featured
during the session. Trading today was
choppy and confined to narrow ranges
July ended the day 1 cent higher at

Acres Cattle Update: Live
cattle and feeder cattle futures closed high
er today gaining from 2 to 95 points on the
live cattle and 30 to 57 points on the feed
ers. Gains were magnified by the futures
discount to cash prices with heavy cash
connected buying tied to oversold condi
tions. A pick-up in packer demand for fed
cattle supplies and ideas of short bought
conditions underpinned cash pnees. Feed
ers closed higher on spillover from live
cattle and short covering Live cattle trade
in the direct markets remained sluggish,
with the USDA reporting light sales at
weaker pnees.
