Thursday

Export sales didn't give the grain room much to get excited about Thursday, and wheat dropped 20 cents, 1068.  Corn off 16 1/2 to 799 1/4 and beans worked hard to stay afloat, 1748 1/4, plus 1 1/2.  Bean oil has a bid from food and fuel.  Rice bounced 17 1/2 to 1623 and we should be down near 2000 may left to place total.   Dow off all of yesterday gain and more, 34,709, minus 370, and bonds get no continuation, 140.02, off 31 tics.  This is still mostly computer noise.
