Wheat receipts total 9,212,000 bushels on western markets, up 1,000,000 from last week and 8,297,000 higher than a year ago, signaling renewed bearish pressure as mills and farmers offer grain. Spot Chicago cash sales are light, futures reaction follows corn short-covering, oats weakness grows with record receipts anticipated, and hog markets tighten as packers gain demand from the south.
