Prices were also hurt yesterday by an Agriculture Department report that was released after the market closed on Tuesday.

An Agriculture Department report issued after the close confirmed the belief that supplies are relatively low.

The Agriculture Department report said the number of pigs born last summer was estimated at 2 percent lower than the 1989 figure.

The Agriculture Department report represented a cut of 40 million bushels from its own earlier estimates.

Wheat, on the other hand, benefited from the same Agriculture Department report.

Only 1 in 20,000 eggs is contaminated with salmonella, according to a recent Agriculture Department report.

Across the country, according to a recent Agriculture Department report, wheat plantings will total 64.8 million acres, down 10 percent from last year.

Last week's heat did some harm to the corn and soybean crops, according to a weekly Agriculture Department report issued after the close.

After support held above that mark, many traders squared their positions to await the Agriculture Department report.

According to the Agriculture Department report, housing, food and transportation top the list of expenses, followed by child care, education and clothing.
