Acres Corn Update: com
futures prices settled lower again today and
posted settlements from 2-1/2 to 4-1/4
cents lower, but off session lows by as
much as'4 cents. Pressure throughout the
day was exerted by private weather fore
casts calling for an increased probability of
rainfall this week in the western portions of
the belt. Further sales were m response to
the heavy rate of producer loan redemp
tions reported on the latest USDA weekly
loan report along with news that the USDA
will release an extra $B5O million, worth of
generic certificates for 1989 deficiency
payments. Prices bounced off session lows
on late short covering with fast market con
ditions prevailing in most of the months.
May closed 2-1/2 cents lower at $2.73 after
trading in a range from $2.76-3/4 to
$2.69-1/2. Generic certificate bids
retrained steady.
Acres Soybean Update: soy
bean futures prices settled lower but mid
range of the day's trading. May lost 3-1/2
cents, settling at $7.45 after trading to a
high o f $7.58-1/2 and a low of $7.34. Pres
sure on the opening was attributed to

reports of increased rainfall probability,
which dropped new crop substantially low
er. Short covering helped to boost prices
off session lows with addZWkK+ls pres
sure exerted late m the session by ideas that
labor disputes among Brazilian dockwork
ers were nearing a settlement. Yesterday’s
reports that ADM was declaring a force
majeur were denied today along with con
tinued confusion over the status of export
bonus.
Acres Wheat Update:
Wheat futures closed higher today from
.3/4 cents on the deferred December to
4-3/4 cents on the spot option. Today’s ses
sion was another hectic one with prices
actively traded on both sides of yesterday’s
closes. Strength in the old crop month was
maintained by rumors of Soviet and Egyp
tian Export Bonus interest Ongoing hot
and dry conditions in Kansas kept new
crop buns on the plus side, while spillover
weakness from com and soybeans pres

range, closing up 4-3/4 cents at $4.11-3/4,
while July trended in a 4-3/4 cent range
from $3.97 to $4.01-3/4.

Acres Cattle Update: Live and
feeder cattle futures closed lower but off
session lows on session-long pressure
generated by long liquidation in advance of
Friday’s 13-Slate and 7-State Cattle on
Feed reports. Additional sales were made
on weakening cash maiket fundamentals
with prices lifted late in the session by
short-covering. Hie Cattle on feed reports
are expected to show aggressive first quar
ter placements prompted by “disastrous”
winter wheat conditions. Pre-estimates for
the 13 State report predicted placements at
106.7%, with on feed numbers at 101.9%
and marketings at 97.3%. Should these
estimates be confirmed, it will be the first
time ever that April on feed number
exceeded January inventories.
