				Illinois country grain prices were 
				mixed on Monday afternoon, with soybeans higher and corn and 
				wheat lower. 
				 
              
				Soybean futures were given a boost 
				from an export sale of US soybeans to China and good export 
				inspection numbers. 
				 
              
				Soybean inspections were higher 
				than expected at 53.9 million bushels.
 				In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted 
				shelled corn bids were 2 to 3 cents lower at 7.22-7.39.  
              
				Soybean bids were 14 cents higher 
				at 14.62-14.81.
 				In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn 
				bids were mixed at 7.33-7.52.  
              
				Soybean bids were 11 to 14 cents 
				higher at 14.95-15.04.
 
 				In the Southern part of the state, shelled corn bids were steady 
				to 2 cents lower at 7.25-7.59.  
              
				Soybean bids were mostly 12 to 16 
				cents higher at 14.95-15.17. 
				 
              
				Wheat bids were 2 cents lower at 
				7.58-7.78.
