   Crop Prices Start Higher, Finish Lower  Wednesday

   December corn closed down 4 cents, not showing panic over slow planting
progress in the U.S. with a wet forecast in view. July soybeans ended down 1
cent, held back by concerns about the future of trade with China and a
lower-than-expected crush estimate from oilseeds processors.
