wheat is up 1/4 cent and July Minneapolis wheat is up 1 3/4 cents.

   CME GLOBEX RECAP: World equity markets are trying to rebound Tuesday morning
after a very poor session on Monday that was driven primarily by higher
interest rates combined with a lower dollar that indicated strong market
resistance to the idea that President Trump might try and oust Fed Chairman
Powell. Monday's report on the U.S. leading economic indicators was worse that
traders expected, and that weighed on markets as well. There is no economic
data being released Tuesday.

   OUTSIDE MARKETS: Previous closes Monday showed the Dow Jones Industrial
Average down 971.82 at 38,170.41 and the S&P 500 down 124.50 at 5,158.20. The
