up 4 cents and May KC wheat is up 8 cents.

worst of the banking crisis seems to have passed with the bailout of Credit
Suisse. The ECB raised interest rates a half a point and expressed confidence
in the European banking system. U.S. markets rallied Thursday but have turned
slightly lower early Friday morning. Interest rates jumped Thursday as the
market re-evaluates its estimates about what the Fed might do next week.
