wheat spreading was featured.
The iriitial burst this mottling was
attributed to yesterday’s bullish

billion bushels. May closed 2-1/4
cents higher at $2.67-3/4 while
December gained 3-1/2 cents at

settled sharply higher, but near
mid range for the day in an active
ly traded session. May settled 7
cents higher at $7.27-1/2 while
November gained only 3-3/4
cents. Buying today was linked to
strong technical factors coupled
with a tight cash supply situation.
Further strength was linked to
ongoing port labor problems in
Brazil and light farmer sales.
Weakness toward the end of the
session was attributed to spillover
from a sell-off in oats, which
made new lows for the move
today.
ACRES WHEAT UPDATE:
Wheat futures continued to gain
momentum today and settled from
2 cents higher on the spot option
