Nov 29 (Reuters) - Spot cash basis bids for corn and soybeans held mostly steady around the U.S. Midwest on Friday, supported by light offerings from farmers and commercial elevators, grain merchants said. * Soy bids eased at a processor in Sioux City, Iowa, while bids for both soybeans and corn were largely unchanged elsewhere following an abbreviated session at the Chicago Board of Trade. * Soybean futures jumped more than 1 percent amid strong export sales results and continued good overseas demand but the higher futures failed to entice significant farmer sales.* Corn futures edged narrowly lower, keeping country sales of corn to a minimum. * Most farmers are finished with the harvest of each crop and are putting a majority of supplies in storage in the hopes of selling next year at higher prices.
