Thursday

Thursday exports nothing stellar to start the day and a mostly chop day of trade.  Corn did the best, 488 1/2, plus 5 1/4 with short covering in front of Friday stocks report at 11.  Wheat lost 3/4 to 578 3/4 and beans slipped 2 3/4 to 1300 1/2.  Rice off 4 1/2 as well, 1613.  I don't expect much out of the stocks report.  Dow looked up both sides of trade and settled up 101 points, 33,892.  Bonds checked out new lows but bounced back to unchanged by the end of the trade, 113.16.
