Bids for US 1 Soft White Wheat for July delivery in unit trains or barges were not well tested in early trading but bids were indicated as steady compared to Monday's noon bids. Some exporters were not issuing bids for nearby delivery.

Bids for 11.5 percent protein US 1 Hard Red Winter Wheat for July delivery were not fully established in early trading but were indicated as 24 to 27 cents per bushel higher than Monday's noon bids due to the higher Kansas City September wheat futures, which supported bids, however a lower basis bid by some exporters tempered the advances.

Bids for 14 percent protein non-guaranteed US 1 Dark Northern Spring Wheat for July delivery were not well tested in early trading but were indicated as 10 to 20 cents per bushel higher than Monday's noon bids. Higher Minneapolis September wheat futures supported bids, however a lower basis bid by some exporters somewhat tempered the advances. Protein scales for non-guaranteed 14.0 percent protein were plus 35 to 40 cents each 1/4 of a percent of protein up to 16 percent protein and minus 45 cents each 1/4 of a percent of protein down to 13 percent protein. Some exporters are bidding a premium for guaranteed 14 percent protein dark northern spring wheat.
