                Illinois country grain prices were 
				mixed on Tuesday afternoon. 
				 
              
                Good harvest weather and continued

				shelled corn bids were lower at 4.21-4.44.  
              
                Soybean bids were up 3 to 5 cents 
				at 12.81-13.12.
 				In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn 
				bids were down 4 to 6 cents at 4.27-4.44.  
              
                Soybean bids were mixed at 
				12.87-13.22.
