   Soybean Oil Gives Soybean Prices a Lift

   November soybeans ended up 4 3/4 cents on a quiet day of trading where the
most excitement came from a $0.42 gain in December soybean oil. December corn
ended up 1 1/2 cents with traders waiting to see how next week's forecasts for
rain pan out for Iowa.
