COMMENTS:  Just a handful of trade was reported today, but 
certainly not enough to establish any kind of an accurate trend for the 
week. Private sources have reported some very light scattered trade late 
this afternoon at $294 in Nebraska and Iowa, fully steady with last week's 
weighted averages. More significant trade will be delayed until Thursday or 
Friday.
