MARKET LOAN COULD BE PINNED TO U.S. TRADE BILL

  Sen. David Pryor, D-Ark., said
  he was considering amending the Senate Finance Committee's
  trade bill with a provision to require a marketing loan for
  soybeans, corn and wheat.
      Pryor told the Futures Industry Association that there was
  great reluctance among members of the Senate Agriculture
  Committee to reopen the 1985 farm bill, and that a marketing
  loan might have a better chance in the Finance panel.
      The Arkansas senator said the marketing loan -- which in
  effect allows producers to pay back their crop loans at the
  world price -- had led to a 300 pct increase in U.S. cotton
  exports in 14 months and a 72 pct increase in rice exports.
      Pryor serves on both the Senate Finance and Agriculture
  Committees.
