Thursday

Thursday trade firm in the wheat, 618 1/4, plus 21 1/2, and that put a stop to any early bearish plays in the other grains.  Corn gained 7 1/4 to 403 3/4.  Beans looked lower early but closed 6 higher, 1062 1/4.  Meal gained $8.  Rice up 8 1/2 in quiet roll trade, 1251 1/2.  Dow weak early on fears of the Wohan virus in EU, but but ultimately just another churn day for the computers, 400 point range with a 28 lower settle, 28,386.  Bonds strong early but fall back to 175.08, off 4 tics.
