BISMARCK – What a difference a day – and a rain – can make in grain markets.

Chicago traders, looking at widespread showers Monday and predictions of more of the same for the weekend, bid corn prices down the 20-cent limit Tuesday. July corn closed at $3.96 a bushel, and soybean prices dropped 26 cents, closing at a $7.99 cash price.
