National Grain Market St Joseph, MO Wed, Apr 22, 1996 USDA-MO Dept Ag Market News DAILY NATIONAL GRAIN SUMMARY Grain and soybean bids were moderately to sharply lower, today, as good weather forecasts and some profit taking on the Boards pressured markets. Wheat 1 to 5 cents lower. Com 3 to 6 cents lower. Sorg hum 8 cents lower. Soybeans 10 to 14 cents lower. Wheat bids dropped mod erately lower despite good overnight export sales. Favorable growing weather in winter wheat areas and spurts of fund sell ing weighed on bids. Additional weakness was due to large stocks figures for World and US wheat. Sharp declines in com and soybean bids are seen as traders made cor rections after yesterday's sharp increases and profit taking was noted on the board.
