Thursday

Solid exports to start Thursday and grain bulls want to push, but I think farmer pricing and Dec deliveries approaching in corn and wheat play the upper hand going into a holiday trade next week.  Corn ends the day 573, off 2 1/4.  Beans give up 11 3/4 to 1265 1/4.  Those breaks were on increasing open interest, so the bull is not getting paid for the extra money he is bringing to the table.  Funds don't like that.  Wheat off 2 1/4 cents, 820.  Rice did pop 22 on increasing open interest, 1459.  Move up from here will be harder on the bull I think.   Dow off 56 points so no back and forth from Wednesday, 35,811.  Bonds up 16 tics, 160.30.
