The U.S. Department of Agriculture issued a plantings progress report late Monday which showed planting continues to run behind last year's level. USDA said 44 percent of the crop was planted compared with 51 percent a year ago. "It's just an easing back," Steve Platt of Dean Witter said. "I thought the plantings report was a little negative and may have helped encourage some profit-taking. I did not show the kinds of delays some people thought might have been apparent." Some dealers had expected more delays in plantings in the South East Delta. The most-active July contract ended 0.37 cent weaker at 72.33 cents per lb, after trading in a narrow range between 72.75 and 72.10 cents. New-crop December finished 0.19 cent lower at 74.48 cents. Volume was estimated at 6,000 lots compared with Monday's official 17,627 lots. Support in the July contract was pegged at 72.00 to 72.30 cents, with resistance at 73.00 cents. 141037 MET may 97
