Daily National Grain Market Summary   

   In a quiet session, soybeans again closed higher with corn and wheat closing 
lower.  Strong export demand seems to be pushing the soybean market again this 
week.  Corn traded lower on lack of interest for the fourth day in a row as 
export demand continues to slip.  Wheat closed mostly 1-4 cents lower.  Corn 
traded 4-6 cents lower.  Soybeans closed 7-10 cents higher.
