                Illinois country grain prices were 
				mixed on Monday afternoon, with corn higher and wheat and 
				soybean futures lower. 
				 
              
                Wheat futures weakened due to poor 
				export news and beneficial moisture in the forecast for the 
				Plains states. 
				 
              
                Corn moved up on technical buying 
				at the Board of Trade and good export news. 
				 
              
                The USDA announced the sale of 
				127,000 tonnes of US corn to an unknown destination.
 				In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted 
				shelled corn bids were mostly 3 to 4 cents higher at 6.86-7.02.
				 
              
                Soybean bids were 10 to 12 cents 
				lower at 14.36-14.49.
 				In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn 
				bids were 3 to 4 cents higher at 6.94-7.14.  
              
                Soybean bids were down 10 to 11 
				cents at 14.54-14.63.
 
 				In the Southern part of the state, shelled corn bids were 3 to 5 
				cents higher at 6.89-7.20.  
              
                Soybean bids were 10 to 14 cents 
				lower at 14.56-14.77. Wheat bids were 14 to 15 cents lower at 
				6.94-7.15.
