National Grain Market SL Joseph, MO Wed, Mar 04, 1998 USDA-MO Dept Ag Market News DAILY NATIONAL GRAIN SUMMARY Wheat bids continued lower, Wednes day, pressured by favorable growing weather in the US winter wheat regions and slow export demand. Com bids were slightly higher in reaction to Korea’s sub stantial overnight export purchase of US com. Soybean bids were mixed with some pressure stemming from dry conditions forecast for Brazil and the continued lack of foreign sales. Fund buying on the board, however, limited declines. Wheat steady to 5 cents lower. Com 1 to 4 cents higher. Sorghum 3 cents higher. Soybeans mixed.
