Illinois country grain prices were mixed on Wednesday afternoon.

The lower US stock market, weak energy markets, and a slow down in world growth estimates combined with weather concern to keep grain markets in a mixed trading pattern.

In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn bids were mostly 2 to 3 cents lower at 6.59-6.70.

Soybean bids were 7 to 13 cents higher at 14.24-14.46.

In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn bids were 1 to 3 cents lower at 6.62-6.75.

Soybean bids were 7 to 13 cents higher at 14.39-14.57.

In the Southern part of the state, shelled corn bids were mostly 2 to 5 cents lower at 6.47-6.86.

Soybean bids were mostly 10 to 15 cents higher at 14.42-14.55.

Wheat bids were mixed at 6.95-7.12.
