Commodity prices on the Chicago Board of Trade were up considerably from their dismal close last Friday. December corn had the biggest rally by percentage, witha 20.4 cent increase from a Friday close of $2.93 to stand at $3.14 at the mid-day, Monday.
Soybeans also rallied by 37.0 cents from last week's close at 7.83 to $8.20 and 4/10s for January delivery.
In wheat, the market was up as well, with a 15.2 cent gain for December wheat, a jump to $4.73 by the mid-day on Monday. December oats failed to gain any ground from last week's close, but then they also did not lose anything by the mid-day, standing at $1.84.
