US Cash Soymeal-Offers mostly steady, demand routine

CHICAGO: Soymeal spot basis offers were mostly steady at US rail, truck and export markets on Friday amid routine demand and ample supplies, dealers said.

* Offers for soymeal barge loadings in October through December were about $1 per ton lower and flat elsewhere. Rail offers weakened earlier this week as some brokers sought to boost sales. But futures remained elevated, limiting buying interest.

* Chicago Board of Trade August soymeal futures jumped $5.50 to $323.50 per ton at 11:19 a.m. CDT (1619 GMT), but were still below their more than three-month peak from Tuesday of $341.40.
