   Wheats Finish Higher as Volatile Soybeans Set Back

   September contracts of all three U.S. wheats closed with double-digit gains
Wednesday, leading a grain sector that saw a 26-cent gain in November soybeans
turn into a 1-cent loss at the close. December corn ended up 4 1/2 cents,
supported by a mostly dry seven-day forecast and ongoing concerns about this
year's yields.
