6:00 a.m. CME Globex:   December corn is up 2 3/4 cents per bushel, November
soybeans are up 10 3/4 cents, and December K.C. wheat is up 5 1/4 cents.

CME Globex Recap:   Equities are lightly mixed ahead of the 'Brexit' vote
beginning in Parliament Tuesday and should be completed by Thursday. If
approved, the withdrawal bill would go to the House of Lords for approval in
time for the October 31 deadline. Even if the vote does not go through, there
seems to be an appetite for an extension beyond the October 31 deadline,
avoiding the "hard Brexit." Grain markets are higher across the board, led by
soybeans and Kansas City wheat which began rallying around midnight and haven't
looked back since. Delayed harvest remains supportive, especially as forecasts
show no big warmup through the end of October which will keep field conditions
slow to dry. Nothing fresh on the trade front with hopes still high for some
sort of a deal to be inked at the economic summit in Chile next week. President
Trump has continued to send tweets suggesting a deal is looking good, but
markets have seen their fair share of those in 2019. If soybean contracts are
able to stake out new highs for the move, which would also be new four and
seven-month highs, it would likely signal funds are comfortable adding to their
newfound long positions as we move toward the South American growing season.
