   Soybeans and Meal Move Higher; Corn and Wheat Leak From Early Gains

   In quiet trade ahead of USDA's June 1 Stocks and Acreage report, corn and
wheat failed to hold early gains, while the soy complex was firm the entire day
on the heels of soybean meal strength. Although the June report is typically a
market-mover, only minor changes are expected in area planted, leaving the door
open for a surprise on Thursday.
