Friday

Friday trade influenced by news and worries of Russia-Ukraine military advances.  Wheat up 26 1/4 to 797 3/4, near the top side of the trading box.  Corn along for 9 1/4 to 651.  Beans picked up 8 3/4 in a bit of strange back and forth trade, 1583.  Rice short came out of the recent downside push, 1521, plus 41 1/2.  You have to wonder sometimes who programs these computer systems, and who finances the noise they create.  Dow off 512 as sidelines look to be a safer place for the weekend, 34,627, and bonds gain a full point, 152.21.
