SUMMARY
WHEAT PRICES TURNED LOWER ON
CONTINUED SLOWED EXPORT
DEMAND AND CREDIT PROBLEMS
IN RUSSIA: CORN PRICES FRAC
TIONALLY HIGHER ON POSSIBLITY
FOR NEW RUSSIAN CREDITS AND
LOWER ESTIMATE FOR BRAZILIAN
CROP; BEAN PRICES MIXED. WHEAT
1 TO 7 CENTS LOWER. CORN
UNCHANGED TO 1 CENT HIGHER.
SORGHUM UNCHANGED TO 1 CENT
HIGHER. SOYBEANS UNCHANGED
TO 1 CENT LOWER. SEVERAL
OFFERS ON EXPORT BOOKS BUT NO
SUBSTANTIAL BUYS TO REPORT
PUSHED WHEAT PRICES LOWER.
RUSSIAN CREDIT PROBLEMS CON
TINUED BUT IDEAS THEY MAY
RECEIVE SOME CREDITS LIMITED
PRICE DECLINES. CORN PRICES FIR
MER ON REPORTS BRAZILIAN CROP
ESTIMATE WAS LOWERED DUE TO
POLLINATION PROBLEMS IN SOME
AREAS. THIS STRENGTHENED
PRICES BECAUSE OF TIGHT WORLD
STOCKS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR
ADDITIONAL RUSSIAN BUSINESS.
SHORT COVERINGS ON THE BOARD
SUPPORTED SOYBEAN PRICES. EVI
DENCE THAT BRAZIL’S BEAN CROP,
LARGER THAN THE 823 MILLION
BUSHELS REPORTED, HAS ENTERED
TRADE CHANNELS, BOOSTED
PRICES. LACK OF NEW EXPORT
INTERESTS ADDED SOME PRESSURE
TO SOYBEAN PRICES.
