Friday

Friday trade softer as we approached an expected good weekend for getting the crop in the ground.   Corn off a nickel. 659 1/2, and wheat slipped a penny, 674 1/4.  Beans settled middle of the range, 1526 1/4, down 7.  Rice bear still pushing, 1318 1/2, off 9 1/2.  Dow in a pretty tight up churn, 34,153, plus 125, while the bonds gain 8 tics, 157.08.
