Wed Aug 19, 1998 USDA-MO Dept Ag Market News Negative news continues to rule the grain and soybean trade but prices a little on the ALAN DIFFENBACH AUCT.-AU2258-L positive siae today. Wheat mixed. Com steady to 2 cents liigher. Sorghum 2 to 3 cents higher. Soybeans 2 to 8 cents higher. Temperatures up near the century mark over a large part of the Com Belt this week but this not expected to cut yields to anv great extent as cooler weather and rain is in the forecast for next week. Com harvest is already underway down South and the big feedlots in the Southwest are busy filling their huge storage pits with high moisture com. Good yields on the irrigated fields but not too great on some of the dry spots in the South and Southwest. Western and Eastern Com Belts expected to have the abundant harvest. Good yields reported on early spring wheat harvest. Exports again show ing a little activity, mostly for com and soy beans. Many counties now have LDP pay ments for wheat. Some out of the way country elevators that no longer have rail service ate bidding below 1.70 a bushel for new crop com. CCC loan rates of 2.00 on com and 5.40 soybeans are popular in numerous counties. The Government may become big grain dealers this fall with tight storage space.
