SUMMARY
Wheat bids slipped lower again today,
pressured by continued slow export sales
and good winter wheat condition. Com
bids finished mixed. Good overnight
export orders offered support However,
better- than-expected quality of the Eastern
European com which has been selling
below US export prices, limited gains.
Soybean bids were slightly higher on good
export orders overnight for beans and
mod. Some weakness was noted, however,
due to reports of ideal planting and grow
ing weather in South America. Wheat 1 to
2 cents tower ex- cept Minneapolis 4 cents
higher. Com mixed, mostly steady. Sorg
hum steady. Soybeans 2 to 4 cents higher.
