USDA-MO Dept Ag Market News DAILY NATIONAL GRAIN SUMMARY Wheat bids close mixed. Very good overnight sale to Pakistan offered some support to wheat bids. However, export sales compared to a year ago are very low and prices sharply lower than the same time a year ago. Com bids turned higher after three consecutive days of lower trends. Export demand very slow but strength from fund buying and traders pos itioning themselves ahead of the holidays, underpinned bids. Soybean bids were near steady with a weak undertone as lack of export sales and year end liquidation sell ing weighed on bids. Wheat mixed. Com 2 to 7 cents higher. Soigfaum 6 to 12 cents higher. Soybeans steady to 1 cent lower.
