Illinois country grain prices were mixed on Tuesday afternoon, with

with the South American weather forecast was enough to push soybean 
futures higher.

bids were mostly 1 cent higher at 7.18-7.37. Soybean bids were 8 to 11
cents higher at 14.52-14.73.
 
In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn bids were 2
to 3 cents higher at 7.29-7.42. Soybean bids were 5 cents higher at 14.59-
14.72.
