                Illinois country grain prices were 
				mixed on Wednesday afternoon. 
				 
              
                Corn was pressured by technical 
				trading as traders kept their focus on Friday's USDA report. 
              
                Soybeans are finding some support 
				with exports.
 				In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted 
				shelled corn bids were 5 to 6 cents lower at 3.94-4.14.  
              
                Soybean bids were mixed at 
				12.30-12.56.
 				In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn 
				bids were 4 to 5 cents lower at 3.98-4.14.  
              
                Soybean bids were mostly 4 to 5 
				cents higher at 12.38-12.58.
 				In the Southern part of the state, shelled corn bids were mixed 
				at 3.93-4.24.  
              
                Soybean bids were mixed at 
				12.35-12.67. 
				 
              
                Wheat bids were 3 to 5 cents lower 
				at 6.25-6.52.
