This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Wednesday, Aug 21st. The grain market continues a downward trend, led by corn in Tuesday trading. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Scott Shellady.

SHELLADY ... "It's kind of hard to ignore that corn market. We keep thinking we're going to get some sort of rally, find our footings. Overnight, we had a surprise drop in good to excellent, by 1%, but it was still a surprise. It was good enough for a little bit of a rally overnight, but guess what? When you can't rally on bullish news, what happens? Yeah, we started to sell off here again in this session. We lost our gains and actually finished up with some losses. So, that is a warning sign to traders out there, instructionally speaking. If the market can't break on bearish news or rally on bullish news, somethings wrong, right? So, that's giving us a little bit of pause for concern. Keep that in mind."
