Thursday

A little something for everyone in exports to start Thursday morning, plus some Russia corridor jitters and SA weather concerns all made the bears take a day off in the ag room.  Short covering led to an 18 1/4 cent bounce in wheat, 578 1/4.  Corn follows for 11 1/2 to 497 1/2.  Meal got a bid and soy closed 1280 3/4, up 7 3/4.  Hard to get much of a push with so much harvest left and the river so low.  Nothing in rice, 1567 1/2, up 3.  I'm told storage is getting to be an issue at one of the big players because of such a big bean handle this year.  Dow spend the day consolidating lower and closed off 22 points, 33,304 while bonds lost 3 tics as well, 111.13.
