Monday

Rice up 26 1/2 to 1738 1/2 for the Monday feature and March pressed against $8 a bu. which will get the next level of cash moving.  Beans up 11 1/4 to 1327 as well with more China purchases and the products with a bid.  Wheat quiet in the cash and the board slips  to 617, off 12 1/4.  Seems like all the grains are dependent on China more than usual this marketing year.  Corn off 6 as well, 477.  The difficulties of both the Mississippi and Panama canal could have some longer lasting negative effects on inland grains as we progress thru spring.   Dow up 17 points, 37,678 and bonds give back 19 tics, 123.08.
