   Soybeans and Oil Firm, Wheat Bounces and Corn Mixed in Slow Trade

   On a quiet day of trade, Kansas City and Chicago wheat challenged the lows
before bouncing to finish higher, while Minneapolis set a new low and stayed
weak. Corn was mixed with spot firm and new crop little changed, and bean oil
rose for a fifth consecutive day, dragging soybeans up as well.
