Illinois country grain prices were lower on Monday afternoon, with soybean futures sharply lower.

Lower than expected weekly export inspection figures, along with technical and speculative selling pushed soybean values lower.

Beneficial rainfall for the Plains states weighed on wheat prices.

Soybean bids were 23 to 28 cents lower at 14.12-14.24.

In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn bids were 7 to 8 cents lower at 7.03-7.20.

Soybean bids were 21 cents lower at 14.35-14.46.
