   Corn, Soybeans, Soybean Meal Surge to Big Gains on Fund Buying With Wheat
Lower

   Soybean and soymeal futures surged Friday while December corn challenged the
recent high ahead of Monday's USDA small grains summary and September 1 stocks
report. Bean oil continued to correct following Thursday's reversal, and all
three wheat markets slipped lower. Late-day hedge selling took the corn and soy
markets off the highs.
