US Cash Grains-Corn, soybean basis mixed at river terminals

CHICAGO, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Basis bids for soybeans and corn were mixed at river terminals around the U.S. Midwest on Tuesday. Soybean basis bids were steady to down at processors.

• The soybean basis fell at a river terminal in Savanna, Illinois. It rose at river terminals in Seneca, Illinois and Davenport, Iowa.

• The soybean basis also fell at a processor in Morristown, Illinois.

• The corn basis fell at the river terminal in Seneca, Illinois and rose in Savanna, Illinois and Davenport, Iowa.

• "The southern harvest is picking up, putting a bit more inventory into the market," said Karl Setzer, a partner at Consus Ag Consulting.

• U.S. soybean and corn crop ratings were mostly steady from the previous week and at their highest levels in years, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported after the market's close on Monday.

• Soybean futures were choppy on Tuesday, with larger-than-expected weekly U.S. export inspections, though a lack of Chinese demand weighed on the market. GRA/
