Monday

Monday trade firm after a softer open as harvest moves farther along and business seems to be soaking up any excess that isn't destined for the bin.  Corn gains 7 to 532 3/4, while wheat picks up 2 1/2 cents, 736 1/4.  Beans up 3 3/4 to 1221 1/2 and global grain bids are firm everywhere.  Rice in another dull spread roll day, 1385, off 1/2.   Dow was down a couple hundred points but recovers late to 35,133, off only 38, and bonds gain 6 tics, 159.18.
