Corn was oft 1 Vi to up Vi cents, soybeans up 1 to off 2.

wheat up Vi to off anfl oats off 1 Vt to 2 The market opened higher but soon came under selling pressure. For the most part, early gains were lost within the first 10 minutes of trading. Floor sources said most of the selling appeared to be profit- taking after recent sharp gains. Other selling was attributed to scattered overnight rainfall and the possibility of more rain during the weekend. But there were differing forecasts on whether or not there would be rain.

A professional firm was a featured seller in the soybean pit on the opening, selling four million bushels of November. The National Soybean Processors Association reported 16.8 million bushels of soybeans were crushed last week which was considered friendly to the futures market. Again today there were no August soybean 011 delivery notices posted. Soviet purchases of corn and light farmer selling contributed to the early advances in the corn pit. The 1981 and 1982 corn reserves also were closed which may have provided some support.
