                Illinois country grain prices were 
				mixed on Tuesday afternoon, with corn slightly higher and 
				soybeans slightly lower. 
				 
              
                Corn futures were supported by the 
				forecast for more rainfall for the cornbelt. 
				 
              
                Soybean values moved lower as 
				there was a lack of positive news and some weakness in the cash 
				soybean basis.
 				In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted 
				shelled corn bids were 6 cents higher at 6.89-7.05.  
              
                Soybean bids were at 3 to 8 cents 
				lower at 15.19-15.39.
 				In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn 
				bids were 4 to 7 cents higher at 6.87-7.00.  
              
                Soybean bids were 3 cents lower at 
				15.42-15.63.
 				In the Southern part of the state, shelled corn bids were 4 to 5 
				cents higher at 6.86-7.09.  
              
                Soybean bids were 9 to 10 cents 
				lower at 15.44-15.79. 
				 
              
                Wheat bids were mixed at 
				6.87-7.13.
