Wheat 1 to 3 cents low er. Com 2 to 5 cents lower. Sorghum 4 cents lower. Soybeans 3 to 6 cents lower. Lower wheat bids were due to continued light export sales the post couple of days. Good crop condition repotted for winter wheat also weighed on wheat bids. Spillov er weakness from com and bean pits encouraged lower bids. Com bids fell on reports of favorable growing weather in South America. Export sales remain very light at this point. A private crop report estimating the 1998 US Com acreage at 81.'75 million compared to the 1997 acreage of 80.2 million. Soybeans were estimated at 71.6 million acres. However, it seems a little early to allow this to direct com or bean markets at this time. Tues day's sharp climb in soybean bids was cor rected today and declines in com and wheat trade added pressure. Lack of fresh export news con- tinues.
