                Illinois country grain prices were 
				higher on Tuesday afternoon. 
				 
              
                Good domestic demand continues to 
				support stronger corn and soybean values. 
				 
              
                A warmer and drier weather pattern 
				also helped to lift prices. 
				 
              
                Traders are also looking forward 
				to Thursday's new Supply Demand forecast from the USDA.
 				In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted 
				shelled corn bids were mostly 15 to 19 cents higher at 
				6.77-7.00.  
              
                Soybean bids were mostly 12 to 15 
				cents higher at 15.81-16.12.
 				In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn 
				bids were 7 to 12 cents higher at 6.76-7.10.  
              
                Soybean bids were mostly 9 to 13 
				cents higher at 15.99-16.21.
 				In the Southern part of the state, shelled corn bids were 19 to 
				20 cents higher at 6.70-6.87.
