Today's Price of Crude Oil
CHICAGO, Aug. 11 (UPI) -- Corn ticked lower on the Chicago Board of Trade Monday but wheat and soybean prices gained as crude oil prices fell slightly in New York.

Corn was off 1 1/4 to off 1 3/4, soybeans were up 28 1/4 to up 28 1/2, wheat was up 28 1/4 to 28 1/2 and oats were unchanged to up 1/4.

The U.S. dollar's rise continued to pressure corn prices Monday as the domestic crop gained on beneficial weather. Wheat rose with corn-wheat spreaders active and estimates for Australia's crop on the upswing. Soybeans rose with spreaders buying meal and selling oil Monday.
