Friday

Quiet trade Friday and no use making something out of nothing.  Corn set back 1 3/4 to 326 1/4 on mild weather talk and some fund selling I would suspect.  Beans off a couple to 898 3/4, with a firm meal market helping to give a floor to trade.  Rice off 3 to 1180 1/2 in a snoozer.   Wheat up a dime as computers churn their favorite churn grain.  539 1/2.  Does keep you on notice that when the most bearish contract spec out there keeps finding bids and a lack of pricing that there is something going on.  With all these grains, I will say again, don't trade your back yard.  Our US carryover is a drop in the bucket of China demand, if they want or need to stretch their wings.   Dow off 221 points, 26,322, and bonds unchanged, 181.03.
