Illinois country grain prices were
higher on Wednesday, with soybean values sharply higher.
Technical and fund buying at the
Board of Trade helped to move soybean values higher.
Concern with the South American
soybean crop and good export demand also supported prices.
In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted
shelled corn bids mostly 5 to 6 cents higher at 7.35-7.46.
Soybean bids were 22 to 24 cents
higher at 14.39-14.65.
In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn
bids were 4 to 9 cents higher at 7.51-7.63.
Soybean bids were 24 to 25 cents
higher
at 14.60-14.74.
In the Southern part of the state, shelled corn bids were 5 to 6
cents higher at 7.32-7.77.
Soybean bids were 23 to 27 cents
higher at 14.76-14.94.

higher at 8.32-8.45.
