Export demand has been slow for wheat this week and China's continued absence remains a negative factor. However, reports that Sri Lanka and Tunisia are seeking U.S. wheat, offered light sup- port. Com prices inched higher again today, supported by recent good ex- port sales and light farmer telling. Light fund buying on the board added tome strength. Min neapolis com and soybeans re-entered the market today but bi It are on buyers call and delivery dependes on the opening of barge traffic, approximately 20 to 25 days away. Weakness in soybean pits a reaction to the expected record crop in Brazil as harvest it reported to resume any day and weaker soymeal demand. Tight farmer bidding of beans alto added pressure to prices. Soyoil prices firmed, limiting price losses.
