Comments
The dollar was sharply lower, usually a quite positive influence, only helping wheat. A report of a good bean sale to China for the new crop sparked early interest but that quickly faded. The dollar was down .514, oil was down .81 and the Dow is up 12. For the week, beans are down 17 1/4, corn was down 11 1/4 and wheat was down 8 1/4. Seemed worse.
