DAILY NATIONAL GRAIN
SUMMARY
Wheat bids were slightly lower at the
dose on active fund selling, ample World
wheat supplies and light export demand.
Asia's financial problems also Continue to
add pressure to bids. Com and soybean
bids were higher, despite lack of new
export sales. Wheat steady to 6 cents low
er. Com steady to 3 cent higher. Sorghum 1
to 2 cents lower. Soybeans 3 to 7 cents
higher. Active profit taking on the board
pressured wheat bids today. Good export
demand yesterday for wheat but nothing
overnight offered weak- ness. Com bids
moved slightly higher as traders saw recent
declines as overdone and adjustments were
made. The large inventory of US hogs
helped to underpin com bids. Export sales
remain nil for the week. Soybean bids were
moderately higher in reaction to a weekly
record large US soybean crush. Continued
favorable growing weather in South
America limited gains in bean bids.
