# Corn and Beans Lower On China Trade Talk.

> Corn fell 4 to 5 cents last week on concerns about a US-China trade war, though it recovered on Friday. Soybeans lost about 21 cents for May futures as China announced a 15 percent tariff list of 128 US products that excluded soybeans. Argentina's corn and soybean crop estimates were lowered by the Buenos Aires Grain Exchange.
