Dec 30 (Reuters) - Corn and soybean cash basis bids were
steady to mixed in quiet trade around the U.S. Midwest on
Tuesday as farmers inquired about prices and checked their
delivery quotas for the month, dealers said.
* Most farmers did not book new sales in anticipation of
better grain and soy prices in 2014.
* A handful of locations increased bids in an effort to stir
farmer interest in booking new sales. But weak Chicago Board of
Trade corn and soy prices combined with the holiday season to
limit new-crop sales, dealers said.
