SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

Corn was up 5 3/4 to up 7 1/2, soybeans were up 5 to up 9 1/2, wheat was up 6 3/4 to up 7 1/4 and oats were up 1.

The International Grain Council estimates Friday pegged 2009/2010 corn yields to fall 7 million metric tons to 771 million. Wheat futures closed higher as yields and conditions in the Southern Plains appear to be deteriorating. Cumulative soybean sales were ahead of their five-year averages for the year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said.

The prices on futures contracts:

Corn: Jul 4.36 1/4, up 7 1/2; Sep 4.46 1/4, up 7 1/4; Dec 4.59 1/4, up 7; Mar 4.69 1/4, up 5 3/4.

Soybeans: Jul 11.84, up 5; Aug 11.48 1/2, up 8; Sep 10.96 1/2, up 8 1/2; Nov 10.62 1/2, up 9 1/2.
