   Grain, Oilseed Prices End Higher on Way to 3-Day Break

   Active contracts of corn, soybeans and all three U.S. wheats were higher
Friday, supported largely by limited supplies of all three as we head into
Memorial Day weekend and toward new-crop seasons. July soybean oil was the only
red quote in Friday's grain sector, ending down 0.95 cent, even though July
crude oil was trading higher Friday afternoon, near $115 a barrel and on track
for a new high close.
