Linn Group Morning Soybean Comment

CHICAGO - Nov 19/07 - SNS -- Following is the morning soybean futures comment from the futures commission brokerage firm Linn Group.

On Friday Soybeans surged to new 19 year highs once again but were unable to
hold the gains ending the session down 1 cent. Fridays strength stemmed from
stronger than expected weekly export sales mainly from China. The USDA
reported 1,296,300 mt of US soybeans sold for export last week, a marketing
year high. This was well above estimates of 650,000 to 850,000 mt. Also
adding support to Fridays trade was a rally in crude oil once again as the
front month gained $1.70. Volume was heavy, 123,110 soybeans traded, 90,298
Oil and 86,025 meal. Funds bought an estimated 2,000 Soybeans, 4,000 Oil and
even in Meal.

Early opening calls are higher. Strength in Crude oil and the weak dollar
once again are the focus of traders today. China continues their buying ways
as the USDA reports private sale of 221,000 mt US Soybeans to China for
delivery in 2007/08 MY adding to last weeks purchases. The commitment of
traders report with options as of November 13th. shows funds long 148,629
Soybeans up 4,620 Meal long 71,180 down 608 and Oil long 60,732 down 3252.
Index funds long 174,096 up 228. Overnight Chinese Soybeans and Soybean Oil
