. National Grain Summary St Joseph, Met Wednesday, July 7, 1999 Wheat bids were slightly higher on slow harvest progress and good overnight export sales. Com slipped lower due to good crop conditions and some profit taking on the board. Soybean bids gained some ground after yesterday’s sharp declines. Wheat 1 to 2 cents higher. Com 1 cent lower except So. lowa 3 cents higher. Sorghum I to 3 cents lower. Soy- beans 2 to 5 cents higher. Tai wan bought a good amount of US wheat overnight which was supportive to wheat bids, however, sales are still very low com pared to a year ago. Wheat harvest still lags behind normal after the recent heavy rain fall in Kansas and Oklahoma. Some good yields have been reported but some yield losses are likely in standing, weathering wheat Favorable growing weather and good crop ratings are keeping com bids on the downward slide. Traders made correc tions in soybean pits after Tuesday’s sharp declines. However, bean crops aw looking good and crop ratings are limiting gains.
