Thursday

Good rice and wheat exports Thursday while corn and beans were lacking, but soy wants to recover Tuesday break.  Beans gain 10 3/4 to 1360 1/2 on meal strength.  Rice popped another 27 to 1620 1/2 but I think we uncovered some selling up near the highs to stall us for now.  Rice does seem to have more people out kicking tires than normal.  Corn lost 1 3/4 cents, 480 1/2 and wheat faded to 3 1/2 lower at the close, 593 3/4.  All this with a solid 339 point Dow rally, 35,257,  so money was out there.  Bonds did leak another 19 tics to give back the meager Tuesday and Wednesday gains, 119.02.
