DOW JONES NEWSWIRES Physical trading came close to a stop this week in the cash grain markets of Mexico as U.S. prices for imported grains surged on supply concerns and the peso weakened after weeks of stability, traders said Friday. "The market has been close to dead this week; with the U.S. prices rising a lot and the peso at the same time weakening, it makes a very difficult market to trade in,” said a physicals trader in northern Mexico. The Mexican peso this week traded in a range between MXN12.88 and MXN13.24 against the U.S. dollar but stayed over the psychologically important MXN13.00 level most of the week, after last week trading between MXN12.80 and MXN12.99 to the dollar. Small lots of white corn were reported to trade from the 2008-09 fall-winter crop from northern Sinaloa, Mexico's top grains-producing state, but as the harvest is almost over, the pace was slowing down. Some minor yellow corn business was done as prices for U.S. yellow corn remained stable and offered an attractive alternative to the expensive soybean otherwise used by the livestock industry as animal feed, a trader said. In the market for imported grains, purchasing demand for soy products remained absent in the face of sharply increased dollar-based purchasing prices. Corn and wheat futures closed weaker at the Chicago Board of Trade, with September corn ending down 4 1/2 cents at $3.18 1/2 a bushel while December wheat settled 7 3/4 cents lower at $4.95 1/4 a bushel. Soy products, however, closed higher, with November soybeans up 15 cents at $10.11 a bushel and December soymeal ending $12.00 stronger at $308.50 a bushel.
