Daily National Grain Market Summary
Grain and soybean advances over the
past two days were stopped as wet weather
moved back into forecasts for the Midwest
and southern Plains. Wheat steady to 3
cents lower. Com 1 to 3 cents lower. Sorg
hum steady to 3 cents lower. Soybeans 5 to
8 cents lower. Wheat bids also declined on
some export disappointments as Algeria
rejected all of the soft wheat they had ten
dered for earlier due to high prices. How
ever, there were some good orders over
night to South Korea and Egypt The Plains
areas is calling for a storm system with
several areas forecast to receive several
inches of snow. Moisture is forecast for the

Midwest tonight. Indications that pro- duc
ers could plant more com this year but with
fuel cost currently on the rise, nothing is
definite; Some profit taking on the Board
added pressure to soybean bids. Export
sales have been slow for com and beans
