SUMMARY
Wheat bids were mostly lower at today's
close due to continued slow export interest
and improved crop condition in Australia.
Some support was noted, however, due to
indications Pakistan bought some US
wheat on PL4BO Program. Com bids were
on both sides of unchanged with light pres
sure steming from lack of fresh export
demand, good crop conditions and sharply
lower bean bids. Soybean bids fell sharply
lower on favor- able growing weather and
reduced talk of frost damage. Wheat most
ly 1 to 3 cents lower. Com mixed. Sorg
hum steady to 2 cents higher. Soy- beans
mostly 12 to 21 cents lower.
