                Illinois country grain prices were 
				mixed on Tuesday afternoon, with corn and wheat higher and 
				soybeans lower. 
				 
              
                Technical trading at the Board of 
				Trade helped to pull corn and wheat futures higher. 
				 
              
                Weaker soybean meal values pulled 
				soybean futures lower.
 				In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted 
				shelled corn bids were mostly 5 to 9 cents higher at 5.66-5.81.
