Thursday

Thursday trade started dull but leaked with abandon thru the day.   Beans off a nickel or so turned into beans down 28 3/4 on the close, 1327 3/4.  Products were weaker, but not that bad.  Corn off 9 1/2 to 596.  Wheat tried to bounce but faded to 779 3/4, off 8.  Rice bull came again, or should I say rice bear who is puking in my opinion, 1457 1/2, only 2 1/2 higher for his trouble and good volume.  Dow off 90 after peaking at new highs and fades 100 points late in the day, 36,291.  Not a way to build confidence in the financial room at the end of the year.   Bonds gain 16 tics, 159.28.
