DAILY NATIONAL GRAIN
SUMMARY
Grain and soybean bids continued to
weaken as favorable growing weather and
very slow export interest added pressure.
Wheat 1 to 27ts lower. Com steady to 4
cents lower. Sorghum 6 cents lower. Soy
beans 11 to 14 cents lower. Export sales
remain slow for all c?h India and Pakistan
back in business there is some hope for
possible US export sales. Wheat harvest
nearing completion and yields are being
repotted as good to excellent most places.
Com and bean crops an looking good as
favorable Midwest weather continues.
Forecasts call for some wetness over the
next few days. Kona bought mon com
overnight but soybean sales nmain nil for
the week.
