                 (Copy) Illinois country grain 
				prices were mixed on Wednesday afternoon, with corn and soybeans 
				higher and wheat lower.  Strong cash markets helped to 
				support higher corn and soybean futures.  Technical selling at the Board 
				of Trade and harvest pressure pushed wheat prices lower.
 				In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted 
				shelled corn bids were 4 to 7 cents higher at 6.87-7.00.  Soybean bids were 8 cents 
				higher at 15.37-15.48.
 				In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn 
				bids were 8 to 11 cents higher at 6.94-7.07.  Soybean bids were mixed at 
				15.49-15.66.
 				In the Southern part of the state, shelled corn bids were 6 to 8 
				cents higher at 6.78-7.20.  Soybean bids were 7 to 11 cents 
				higher at 15.69-15.82.  Wheat bids were mostly 6 to 14 
				cents lower at 6.42-6.61.
