This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Wednesday, July 23rd. Wheat and other grains holds steady in Tuesday trading. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey.

CHRISTY ... "Wheat was steady. It traded on both sides of the market. Egypt did buy 300-thousand tons of wheat so that really was something to give it a shot in the arm, but it didn't send it anywhere higher that we thought. You know, technically futures are oversold so there is other things to underpin the market to really push it a little bit higher. The European Union, and Russia, you know, they're cutting back some of their harvest forecast numbers. All these things should be very good for U.S. wheat and yet we are kind of stalled out here, but the Agriculture Secretary did announce that there's going to be another round of aid and that's going to be another $15 per acre for the federal aid. All the information behind that hasn't been released yet, but we're going to be watching that closely."
