Illinois country grain prices were
mixed on Thursday afternoon, with soybeans higher and corn and
wheat lower.
Soybean futures were supported by
a threatened strike by South American dock workers.
Beneficial moisture in other world
wheat producing areas helped to push wheat prices lower.
In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted
shelled corn bids were 11 to 12 cents lower at 6.68-6.86.
Soybean bids were 9 to 12 cents
higher at 14.95-15.05.
In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn
bids were 9 to 11 cents lower at 6.68-6.78.
Soybean bids were 14 to 16 cents
higher at 15.15-15.29.
In the Southern part of the state, shelled corn bids were 9 to
10 cents lower at 6.51-6.87.
Soybean bids were 10 to 15 cents
higher at 15.10-15.24.
Wheat bids were 6 cents lower at
6.68-6.96.
