Thursday

Great corn exports, but were expected by Wednesday trade.  Given the risk change of China Houston consulate getting the boot, happy to see corn close 1/2 higher, 328.  Beans back over the buck as we close 900 3/4, up 6 3/4.  Wheat slips a nickel in the grain churn market, 529 1/2.  Rice off 3 1/2 to 1183 1/2 with the bear still wanting a lid, but concern of gulf weather getting more attention.  Dow takes a 341 point hit, 26,543, and bonds up another 15 tics, 181.03.
