                Illinois country grain prices were 
				moderately higher on Monday afternoon. 
              
                Strong export sales of corn acted 
				to support inspections of corn at 30.24 million bushels. Good 
				commercial buying continues to support the soybean market.
				
				 
              
                The USDA said last weeks soybean 
				export inspections were 66.9 million bushels.
 				In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted 
				shelled corn bids were 4 to 7 cents higher at 4.05-4.23.  
              
                Soybean bids were up 9 to 14 cents 
				at 12.96-13.21.
 				In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn 
				bids were 2 to 4 cents higher at 4.06-4.20.  
              
                Soybean bids were 9 to 12 cents 
				higher at 13.14-13.28.
 				In the Southern part of the state, shelled corn bids were 1 to 4 
				cents higher at 4.05-4.32.  
              
                Soybean bids were mostly 10 to 12 
				cents higher at 13.11-13.38.
 
              
                Wheat bids were up 4 to 8 cents 
				higher at 6.30-6.65.
