Illinois country grain prices were
higher on Thursday afternoon.
Stronger wheat values were
supported by technical buying at the Board of Trade and concern
with how much damage was done to the western wheat crop due to
freezing
temperatures.
Corn was given a boost from weekly
export sales figures and the sales announcements this morning by
the USDA.
The USDA announced the sale of
240,000 tonnes of new crop US corn to an unknown destination and
a sale of 300,000 tonnes to China.
In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted
shelled corn bids were 6 to 10 cents higher at 6.40-6.56.
Soybean bids were 21 to 24 cents
higher at 14.17-14.39.
In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn
bids were 6 cents higher at 6.42-6.57.
Soybean bids were 27 to 30 cents
higher at 14.42-14.57.
In the Southern part of the state, shelled corn bids were 5 to 6
cents higher at 6.33-6.69.
Soybean bids were 16 cents higher
at 14.40-14.61.
Wheat bids were 12 cents higher at
6.96-7.12.
