Wednesday

Wednesday trade biased by fears of a rail shutdown as beans drop 23 3/4 to 1455 and corn off 10 1/2 to 682 1/4.  Convenient story that has been known but raised to the top of the news cycle to justify a push down from the recent grain rally.  Wheat up 11 3/4 cents, 872 1/4.   Rice up a penny and a half, 1780.  Dow up 39 points after the Tuesday rout, 31,251.  Bonds up 2 tics, 131.31.
