                Illinois country grain prices were 
				mixed on Friday afternoon. 
				 
              
                Export sales of soybeans and 
				substantial gains in soybean prices were chalked up to export 
				sales. 
				 
              
                Corn cannot break out of existing 
				values because of the amazing corn yields this year. 
				 
              
                Wheat found support from exports.
 				In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted 
				shelled corn bids were 1 cent lower at 3.99-4.17.  
              
                Soybean bids were 31 to 36 cents 
				higher at 12.87-13.08.
 				In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn 
				bids were 6 to 1 cent lower at 4.04-4.17.  
              
                Soybean bids were 28 to 33 cents 
				higher at 13.04-13.19.
 				In the Southern part of the state, shelled corn bids were steady 
				to 7 cents higher at 4.02-4.31. 
              
                Soybean bids were 28 to 30 cents 
				higher at 12.90-13.26.
