Corn was off 7 3/4 to off 9, soybeans were off 13 to off 14, wheat was up 4 1/4 to up 5 and oats were off 3/4 to off 1.
Corn futures were lower as a cool weather pattern in July indicated a high yield could be expected. Wheat prices rose with support from a weaker dollar.
Favorable weather for soybeans in the Midwest put downward pressure on
soybean prices, traders said.
