   Rattled Investors Pressure Grains Lower

   December corn closed down 5 1/2 cents and November soybeans were down 21 1/2
cents, pressured by the anticipation of harvest and bearish market influence
from liquidity problems in China. December soybean oil posted the largest
percentage loss among grain-related contracts, finishing down 1.39 cent at its
lowest close in three months.
