   USDA Reports Send Corn and Wheat Higher, But Soybeans Fall to New Low

   December corn closed up 8 cents and all three U.S. wheats posted
double-digit gains after USDA estimated tighter supply levels of both crops
than were expected. November soybeans fell 46 cents to a new one-month low
after Sept. 1 soybean stocks came in 34 mb higher than USDA's September
estimate, likely an over-reaction of noncommercial selling.
