   New Low in Soybean Oil Drags Soybean Prices Lower Thursday

   July soybean oil fell 1.15 cents to 42.64 cents Thursday, the lowest July
close in three years as prices continue to reflect a loss of market share to
competing feedstocks for making biofuel. November soybeans closed down 12 1/2
cents, but July contracts of all three U.S. wheats posted modest gains after
Reuters posted a story about wheat damage in central Russia.
