                Illinois country grain prices were 
				mixed on Tuesday afternoon. 
				 
              
                With little new information the 
				grain prices ended mixed. 
				 
              
                Many traders are waiting to even 
				positions ahead of Thursday's USDA Crop report, so trading 
				activity was light. 
				 
              
                The USDA did announce on Tuesday 
				the sale of 121,000 tonnes of new crop US soybeans to an unknown 
				destination.
 				In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted 
				shelled corn bids were down 5 to 10 cents at 4.54-4.99.  
              
                Soybean bids were 11 to 25 cents 
				lower at 13.60-14.35.
 				In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn 
				bids were up 2 to 5 cents at 4.84-5.25.  
              
                Soybean bids were mostly 2 to 5 
				cents lower at 14.25-14.77.
 
 				In the Southern part of the state, shelled corn bids were up 5 
				to 6 cents at 4.79-5.14.  
              
                Soybean bids were down 10 to 13 
				cents at 14.02-14.25.
