AfrLaneamr Firming, Saturday, Kirch 16.1996 National Grain Market ST. JOSEPH, MO MARCH 13, 1996 Good export demand offered support to wheal and com bids but wheat gains were limited due to traders optimism that rain will fall in the Plains Slates this week. Soy bean bids were up slightly on improved oil demand and a stronger cash com market Wheat mixed. Com 3 to 4 cents higher. Sorghum 2 to 6 cents higher. Soybeans I to 2 cents higher. Wheat traders continue to be concerned over the fungus found in Arizona durum wheat which added pressure to bids. Forecasts for rainfall in the Plains was also a lowering factor. However, strength was noted due to very good export demand overnight. Export com tales were suppor tive to bids and especially good for the week. Soybean bids followed com higher and higher tayoil futures also added strength. Hie USDA reduced its ending stocks figure for soyoil by 120 million pounds to 1.705 billion pounds. Continued reports of Brazil’s delayed harvest offered support.
