This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Friday, Sep 20th. The grain markets see little change in Thursday trading. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey.

McGATHEY ... "Seasonally, the market is pretty strong at this time and we did see a pretty good rally overall, but I think that some profit taking kind of ensued today and the futures didn't really rise above yesterday's high and so, with that, I think a few people are taking something off the table right now. The uptrend is still intact, however all the data is mostly bearish so we've got to be really careful about this. Is the wheat market creating a chasm that can be filled very quickly? We're going to watch and see. Still, a lot of data out there. We're right in the middle of harvest. There is some weather issues and, if nothing else, there isn't any frost coming and so it looks like the corn and soybeans and even the wheat will have a chance to mature in spite of the fact that we got it in the ground late."
