USDA-MO Dept. Ag Market News DAILY NATIONAL GRAIN SUMMARY Grain and soybean bids were moderately higher, today, supported by some export business, weather reports, and a bit of cor rectional maneuvers by traders. Wheat 1 to 4 cents higher. Com 1 to 6 cents higher. Sorghum 12 to 14 cents higher. Soybeans 2 to 6 cents higher. Well, wheat bids gained additional ground today as Indonesia's overnight purchase offered some strength. A large factor for the higher trend was con cerns over the dryness in parts of Texas and the impact that the high winds and hot temperatures could have on this years wheat crop. The crop is now in the fill and dough stages and expected yields could be severely altered if some moisture is not seen soon. Com and soybean tads turned higher as traders saw the past three days of lower bids as overdone. Com planting con tinues to progress, however, more rain than expected in the Eastern Com Belt along with very hot temps in the west gave strength to bids. South Korea's com purch ase overnight was also a plus for com bids. lUILT. CRAFT & BUGGIES FARM &TOYS YEAR AGO National Grain Market SL Joseph, MO Wed, May 13, 1998 Soybean meal was slightly higher today but ideas that the draught in Mexico could expand into the US in June, offered the most support to bids.
