Monday

Crop conditions dropping as we are closing out this years production minus the rains we would like to see.  Hurricane in the gulf is getting bigger as well.  Corn for Monday close up 4 3/4 as the shorts are still coming out, 331 3/4.  Beans catching their breath, 899 3/4. off a penny.  Don't see much downside for now.  Wheat churn continues with a 6 1/2 lower close, 520 3/4.  Rice had a Sept short blow the spread for 20 cents during the day in sloppy trade and ending off 4 cents, 1226.  Dow bulls back in charge, 28,239, plus 380.  Bonds off 5 tics, 179.14.
