Monday

Monday feature was wheat with strong world prices and trade, 797 1/4, plus 24 1/2 on the day.  Oats are up to 7.50.  Corn along for the ride, 579, up 10 3/4.  We are trying to buy some corn acres with fert prices so high.   Jan Beans off a penny, 1248 1/2, and I just cant get friendly beans without a big bio change.  Jan rice off 9 cents, 1347 1/2, and at least the seller got a close his way after selling the better part of 1000 contracts these last several days.  Ouch.  Dow trickled up 96 points, as it normally does in dull days late, 35,800, and bonds slip 15 tics, 160.12.
