SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

Corn was off 30; soybeans were up 14 1/2 to up 23 1/2; wheat was off 52 to off 53 3/4; and oats were up 8 3/4 to up 12.

Favorable weather prompted corn selling Monday, while Republican members of Congress sent a letter to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency asking for a waiver from ethanol mandates. Wheat traded lower on clear weather for harvesting expected from Kansas to Ohio. Soybeans were up on revised U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates on the 2008 crop.
