Thursday

Thursday morning opened with strong exports in beans as expected from flash sales and decent wheat and corn numbers.  Rice soft again.  Beans having a hard time up here though and fade 8 3/4 by the end of the day to 1473 1/2.  More Russia talk and Ukraine thinks Russia will attack Kiev soon.  Corn up 3 cents, 653 1/2, and wheat gains 8 to 757 1/4.  Rice bear funds added 300 to open interest, 1663 1/2.  Off a dozen, so they got paid a bit for their trouble which should keep them coming back.  Dow pounded for 803 points, 33,436, while bonds gain 29 tics, 132.02.
