				Illinois country grain prices were 
				lower on Monday afternoon, with soybean futures sharply lower.
				
				 
              
				Lower than expected weekly export 
				inspection figures, along with technical and speculative selling 
				pushed soybean values lower. 
				 
              
				Beneficial rainfall for the Plains 
				states weighed on wheat prices.
 				In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted 
				shelled corn bids were 6 to 9 cents lower at 6.90-7.00.  
              
				Soybean bids were 23 to 28 cents 
				lower at 14.12-14.24.
 				In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn 
				bids were 7 to 8 cents lower at 7.03-7.20.  
              
				Soybean bids were 21 cents lower 
				at 14.35-14.46.
 				In the Southern part of the state, shelled corn bids were 7 
				cents lower at 6.97-7.27. 
              
				Soybean bids were 19 to 21 cents 
				lower at 14.40-14.58.
