and continued good export interest sup
ported bids. Wheat bids 1 to 3 cents
higher. Corn 3 to 5 cents higher. Sor
ghum 9 cents higher. Soybeans 2 cents

Wheat bids higher with St. Louis up

in winter wheat growing areas with re
ports of insurance companies expanding
staff to handle widespread losses sup
ported bids. Corn bids higher with good
weekly export sales and a cut in South
African corn production numbers may
cause favorable export business. Soy
bean bids also higher with talks that
USDA has under-reported export in
spections m the past two weeks and im
prove export interest continued to be a
positive factor.
