ACRES CORN UPDATE:
Com futures continued to slide
today ending the session from 3
lower on the spot July to 5-3/4
lower on the March, May and July
’9O options. Fresh contract lows
were set in the new crop months
with losses tempered by late ses
sion buying in response to a short
lived rally in beans. Firm cash
basis fevels propped old crop
months along with slack farmer
sales. Further support was pro
vided by news South Korea pur
chased 100,000 metric tonnes
ovemite rather than the 50,000
tendered in addition to ideas the
USSR was ready to re-enter the
market. December ended today’s
session at $2.39-1/4 after trading
in a range from $2.38 to
$2.44-1/2.

GRAIN AND LIVESTOCK
ACRES SOYBEAN
UPDATE: Soybean futures prices
closed out the day lower from 2 to
8 cents after a wild ride with trad
ing on both sides of yesterday’s
close. November beans opened at
$6.39, traded to a high of $6.58
and closed 7 cents lower at
$6.47-1/2. Reports of overnight
rainfall, and forecasts for more on
the way in lowa pressured the
opening with buying midsession
linked to news reports that Brazi
lian dockworkers would strike on
June 13th. That news digested,
selling re-entered the market in
the form of profit-taking and con
tinued caution in the face of
weather news. July lost 2-1/4
cents and settled at $6.97-1/4 after
trading in a range from $6.88-3/4
to $7.07.

ACRES WHEAT UPDATE:
Wheat futures closed today higher
from 1-3/4 to 3-3/4 cents on buy
ing in response to rumors of
export interest from China and
Egypt. Prices were propped early
in the day by news that Egypt had
bought 300,000 metric tonnes of
soft red and soft white overnight.
Forecasts for rain in the northern
and central plains pressured the
opening along with spillover from
sharp losses in the neighboring
soybean pit. Short covering late in
the session boosted prices along
with ongoing rumors of export
interest The USDA confirmed a
purchase by Egypt of 120,000
metric tonnes of soft red after the
close. July settled today at
$3.98-3/4, up 3-3/4 after trading in
