   Quiet Session For Grains as Market Awaits Friday's USDA Estimates

   Nearby corn, soybeans, and wheat contracts all made marginal gains Wednesday
in what was overall a quiet session. The improved outlook of better South
American weather seems to have been at least momentarily priced into the market
as corn and soybeans found footing Wednesday and wheat continues to attempt an
upward breakout.
