                Illinois country grain prices were 
				mixed on Tuesday afternoon. Wheat found support in the cold 
				weather moving into the wheat producing areas of the west. 
				Technical trading kept corn pointed upward while soybeans showed 
				minor weakness.
 				In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted 
				shelled corn bids were 1 to 12 higher at 4.01-4.21. Soybean bids 
				were 2 to 5 
				lower at 12.85-13.19.
 				In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn 
				bids were 3 to 4 higher at 4.03-4.19. Soybean bids were 
				unchanged to 4 cents higher at 13.05-13.26.
 
 				In the Southern part of the state, shelled corn bids were 5 to 8 
				higher at 4.08-4.26. Soybean bids were 1 to 4 lower at 
				13.14-13.34. Wheat bids were mixed at 6.39-6.77.
