                Illinois country grain prices were 
				lower on Monday afternoon. 
				 
              
                Improved weather conditions along 
				with chart selling and profit taking combined to drive prices 
				lower. 
				 
              
                Traders were also expecting an 
				increase in Wednesday's USDA Supply and Demand report.
