Tuesday

After a long weekend, Tuesday opened flat to weak most everywhere and really couldn't muster a bounce.  Corn leaked all day and closed 510 3/4, off 13 1/4.  Beans off 15 cents, 1277, meal and oil soft, and wheat gave up 6 1/2 to 719 3/4.  Rice did gain 2 1/2 in pretty quiet trade, 1333 1/2.  River is still looking for some rice it appears.  Dow off 262 points, 35,091 and bonds lost a full point to close 163.15, but for financials that's really not bad, considering how poorly the global stories were over the weekend about our pull out.
