CHICAGO Carlos Lee Astros Jersey , Sept. 23 (Xinhua) -- Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT)grains futures closed mixed over the trade week which ended Sept.22, as large export demand and uncertainty about the size of theU.S. crop continues to weigh on the grains market.

CBOT corn ended slightly lower, as the market continues to flirtwith major resistance at 3.55 dollars per bushel. A flood ofcombined yield data in the next few weeks will drive nearbydirection. So far yield data has been variable, and a clear yieldtrend is lacking.
Analysts don't expect much of the corn market into mid-fall.South America continues to ship record amounts of corn abroad, andU.S. weekly export sales will be rather dull into early 2018.
It's far too early to be concerned, but a developing La Nina anddelayed soybean seeding in Brazil, which in turn may delays cornplanting, are being watched. The ethanol margins are strong so U.S.domestic use is record large.
Wheat futures rallied a little bit higher with premium added tospring wheat values ahead of the Final U.S. Small Grains Reportnext Friday. Fundamentally, it's common for U.S. and world wheatmarkets to bottom in late August or September, and with Russian foboffers rising rather quickly.
As to other major wheat exporters, Australia remains dry,Argentina has lost acreage, and a wetter pattern is needed in EastUkraine and South Russia for germination.
