Thursday

Thursday trade brings new month trades,and great exports, but a muted trade response.  Corn gained 3 3/4 to 382 3/4.  Beans struggled to stay unchanged, 1023 1/2.  Wheat never could get any bounce and closed 7 3/4 lower, 570 1/4.  Rice up 3 1/2 to 1251 in another quiet day of trade.  Dow put another 400 point range to waste as only the computer churn players made any money, 27,689, plus 25.  Bonds looked at the low end of the range and held, rallying back 2 higher on the day, 176.11.
