Persistent rain delayed Brazil's soybean harvest while dry soils slowed U.S. corn and soybean plantings. Russia bought one million tons of U.S. wheat for June to July delivery, aiding market strength with other buyers. St Louis No 2 soft red winter wheat rose 3 to 4 cents to $3.00 to $3.12. Minneapolis spring and winter prices noted.
