Dec 11 (Reuters) - Export premiums for corn and soybeans
held steady at the U.S. Gulf Coast on Wednesday.
* Traders said the corn market had a firm tone due to rising
demand from overseas buyers.
* For soybeans, most exporters had enough supplies to fill
their needs for December and January.
* Some buyers were looking for soybean supplies for February
but others were hoping that supplies from South American
countries would be available by then.
* There were no wheat offers on the spot market due to tight
space on barges, a trader said.

wheat for Jan 10-20 shipment. Prices ranged from $310.90 to

* The U.S. Agriculture Department said that private
exporters reported the sale of 120,000 tonnes of U.S. corn to
unknown destinations for delivery in the 2013/14 marketing year.
* The Taiwan Sugar Corp has issued an international tender
to buy 23,000 tonnes of U.S.-origin corn and 12,000 tonnes of
U.S.-origin soybeans. Shipment was sought from the U.S. Gulf
between Jan. 30 and Feb. 13 or from the U.S. Pacific North West
coast between Feb. 14 and Feb. 28.
