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.
