Grain CHICAGO (AP) Soybean futures advanced nearly 4 cents a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Grain futures prices also were generally strong. Soybean oil and meal were higher but iced broilers were little changed and trade slow. Soybeans were irregular on the opening. Commercial selling was absorbed by local professionals and commission house buyers and once the selling had been satisfied prices began a slow ascent.

Soy oil and meal, irregular on the opening, also strengthened. The combinations of three strong futures in the soybean complex then tended to influence buying in wheat, corn and oats. When old crop soybeans reached cents above the previous close a small selloff ensued. Wheat prices also were irregular on the opening, then turned strong, with particular buying interest and short- covering noted in deferred options. It appeared that some of the buying strength was again linked to reports that Russian might again seek wheat in the world market.

There was only minimal commercial heding in the corn pit, and after this selling had subsided relatively active buying in deferred options appeared. Oats futures moved in a range of some of a cent in light, but mixed trade. After about an hour, soybeans were to 3V(i cents a bushel higher, March 3.3714; wheat was 14 to higher, March 1.62; corn was unchanged to higher, March 1.18% and oats were to '4 higher, March cents.
