Tuesday

Meal set the firm tone Tuesday, and held for a $7 gain on the day, dragging beans up 14 3/4 to 1184 1/4.  I had expected the bean run at $12 to come next week after we digested rain events in SA, but those 20,000 Jan $12 calls are pulling too hard to wait.  Corn stable in a nickel range trade and up 3/4 to close 424 3/4.  Wheat picked up 3 1/4 cents, 599 1/4.  Rice off 8 1/2 to 1233 with some pretty decent volume and almost 300 vs cash.  Tuesday, so we will get to see how the commercial has adjusted this Friday.   We already know the answer.  Dow firm and closes 30,114, plus 333 points, while bonds leak 25 tics, 172.29.
