This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Tuesday, June 19th. The slide continues for prices on the wheat market Monday. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey.

McGATHEY ... "Wheat was falling again for the fourth day in a row. It seems that the prices are hovering over Friday's low because even though we had a big low Friday the market did come back towards the end of the day, but now we're right at those levels again. It's so difficult and interestingly enough the weather in Russia is very dry right now and that's a big wheat belt there and we know that there was some reduction in the world ending stocks. We're hoping that maybe that could continue to help drive prices or, at least, hold them up, but it really hasn't done that since we've been lower for four days in a row. And, there's been super-hot temperatures across the U.S., all those thing you would think would give the market a little shot in the arm, but nothin' doing right now."
