M = Minneapolis Grain Exchange; K = Kansas City Board of Trade; C = Chicago Board of Trade;
$ = cash price quote; N/A = quote not available; closed = Great Lakes are closed to vessels for winter; ¢/bu = cents per bushel;
Futures Contract Month: H = March; K = May; N = July; U = September; Z = December
NS/DNS=Northern Spring/Dark Northern Spring (subclasses of Hard Red Spring); HRW=Hard Red Winter; SRW=Soft Red Winter; SW=Soft White; WW=Western White (White Club & Soft White)
F.O.B.= "Free on board" - Seller is responsible for placing grain at the end of the loading spout. Buyer is responsible for providing the ocean vessel and for all other costs after the grain is delivered on board.
Basis: The difference between the cash price and futures month for specific quality, shipping period and geographical location.
Durum, SW and WW are quoted in dollars per bushel ($/bu.) rather than basis for each contract month.
To compute cash price, add basis level and current futures to get price per bushel. Multiply by 36.743 to get price per metric ton.
Example: Basis = 70 and Future Price = $9.00, the price per bushel is $9.00 + .70 = $9.70/bu. Price per metric ton is $9.70 * 36.743 = $356/MT.
All prices are based upon U.S. number two grade or better as certified by the Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS).

The weekly prices as reported by U.S. Wheat Associates are compiled through research from numerous market sources, including U.S. wheat exporters of all classes from various U.S. ports. The prices reported are representative of the value
of number two grade and the proteins indicated. They are not intended to represent offers nor should importers of U.S. wheat rely upon them as such. Additional factors may alter these prices significantly. These factors may include:
(1) payment terms (differing from cash against documents which are the terms used in the U.S. Wheat Associates price report); (2) various quality factors, and method of quality certification; (3) loading terms (USW prices represent
Free on Board and do not include loading rate guarantees, stevedoring costs or other elevator tariff charges); (4) different delivery periods than indicated in monthly prices reported by U. S. Wheat Associates.
U.S. Wheat Associates recommends regular contact with exporters of U.S. wheat in order to receive offers representative of your requirements. These contracts would allow importers to review contract terms and better understand the
U.S. grading system, role and function of the Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS).

Weekly Price Report
Highlights:
October 10, 2014
Daily Settlement Prices (SEP14)
* Wheat futures closed higher for the second consecutive week. USDA unexpectedly lowered its estimate
for global ending stocks in a Friday report, providing support to futures despite an increase in the global
production forecast. Wheat also found support from an easing U.S. dollar and strength in corn and
soybean markets. Gains were limited by disappointing U.S. commercial sales and signs of lower world
export demand. CBOT December wheat added 13 cents to close the week at $4.99/bu. KCBT and MGEX
December contracts both gained 10 cents to close at $5.78/bu and $5.53/bu, respectively. CBOT
December corn added 11 cents to $3.34/bu and CBOT November soybeans increased 10 cents to
