A6-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 30, 1999 National Grain Market St. Joseph, MO Wed Oct 27, 1999 USDA-MO Dept Ag Muket News Daily National Otain Market Summary Wheat bids were slightly higher on export sales and optimism for new orders. Com bids slipped lower again on harvest pressure and a pick up in farmer selling. Slight strength in soybean bids were due to traders corrections from recent sharp declines and lack of fresh export news. Wheat steady to 3 cents higher except Min neapolis 10 cents lower. Com steady to 1 cent lower. Sorghum 3 cents lower. Soy beans steady to S cents higher. South Kore a's overnight wheat purchase and indica tions Algeria could be in the market soon, offered support to wheat bids. Mid-week sales aren't fantastic, compared to last week but year to date figures are getting better. Reports that Algeria bcught 4.5 mil lion bushels of wheat from Germany was disturbing but talks that they ate looking for another cargo or two could be good for the US. Pakistan could be back in the market soon due to new GSM-102 credits being restored to them. Com lads were slightly lower, despite the substantial Japanese pur- chase overnight and South Korea has a tender tonight Rapid harvest pro- grass continued to pressure prices as USDA estimates com crop 77 percent complete. An increase in farmer selling has been reported in some areas. Soybean bids were steady to slightly higher with no teal reasons to support the market Harvest progress is good for soybeans with over 86 percent in bins. Export sales have not been good this past week for soybeans and nil this week. Rains continue in Argentina and is likely to spread on into Brazil. Spillover strength from com trade and technical cor rections are the major support factors.
