Friday

Friday trade weighed by talks of China halting Ag purchases in retaliation for US Hong Kong stance change.  Corn off 1 3/4 to 325 3/4 and beans down 6 1/4 to 840 3/4..  Wheat gains 6 1/4 for a 520 3/4 settle and rice buyer pushed up again, 1721 1/2, plus 33.  Dow off 79 points, 25,378, and bonds gain a point and 11 tics, 180 even.  Funds are now a huge corn short for this date, but projected fundamentals make any major rally difficult.  Order-flow and the calendar are in competition.
