   EARLY MORNING GLOBEX NET CHANGES:  December corn was steady, November
soybeans were up 6 cents and December KC wheat was up 2 cents.

   CME GLOBEX RECAP: Early Friday, Dow Jones futures are trading roughly steady
after suffering from lower trade Thursday, a risk-off day of selling that took
down nearly all the commodity prices also. Wednesday's projections from the
Federal Reserve expect the federal funds rate to reach 6.1% by the end of 2023,
a bearish outlook that turned traders defensive. USDA's cattle on-feed report
for September 1 will be out at 2 p.m. CDT Friday. Dow Jones' survey expects the
on-feed total to be down 2.2% from a year ago and placements to be down 5.2%
from a year ago.
