   GENERAL COMMENTS:

   This past week was far from perfect and, if anything, the market fell short
of being able to rally amid new developing surprises like beef plants slowing
their processing speeds. July corn is down 31 cents per bushel and July soybean
meal is down $2.90. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 402.32 points and
NASDAQ is up 315.64 points.
