                Illinois country grain prices were 
				mixed on Tuesday afternoon. 
				 
              
                Exports to China gave soybeans 
				substantial gains which pushed January to its highest close in 6 
				weeks. 
				 
              
                Excess corn supplies with lack of 
				demand are weighing on the corn market. 
				 
              
                And wheat has no positive news to 
				break it out of its existing values.
 				In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted 
				shelled corn bids were mixed at 4.07-4.26.  
              
                Soybean bids were 10 cents higher 
				at 12.82-13.09.
 				In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn 
				bids were 2 cents lower at 4.10-4.27.
 				Soybean bids were 10 to 11 cents higher at 12.96-13.14.
 				In the Southern part of the state, shelled corn bids were 1 to 4 
				cents lower at 4.02-4.29.  
              
                Soybean bids were 4 to 14 cents 
				higher at 12.75-13.18. 
				 
              
                Wheat bids were steady to 1 cent 
				lower at 6.10-6.48.
