   China Retaliates; Soybeans, Other Commodities Mostly Lower

   Friday's trading in grains was dominated by China's announcement of a new
tariff on $75 billion of U.S. goods and by concerns as to how the U.S. will
respond. Not only were November soybeans 12 1/4 cents lower and December corn 3
1/4 cents lower, most other commodities and U.S. stocks were also trading
lower.
