Even though the much-rumored new soy business with China did not show up in Tuesday's 8 a.m. sales, soybeans rose to solid gains for the fourth straight day, fueled by resurgent meal futures. Corn was firm early, but ended a few cents lower and failed to rally above the 50-day average. Wheat markets finished mixed, with Minneapolis settling just under the recent high.

Lean hog futures are posting more noticeable price pullbacks as traders adjust positions following aggressive gains over the past two days. Trade is expected to remain sluggish through the end of the day.
Corn is flat at midday after a mixed Tuesday morning; soybeans are 9 to 11 cents higher and wheat is 1 to 7 cents higher.
