Illinois country grain prices were higher on Wednesday afternoon.

Technical buying at the Board of Trade helped to support corn, soybean and wheat prices.

Good export interest also helped to lift soybean values.

Soybean bids were 29 to 30 cents higher at 16.39-16.50.

In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn bids were 16 to 17
cents higher at 7.55-7.71.

Soybean bids were mostly 29 to 30 cents higher at 16.52-
16.70.

In the Southern part of the state, shelled corn bids were 16 to 18 cents higher at
7.50-7.73.
