How much US soybeans did China recently purchase, and when are they scheduled to be shipped?

China's state-owned firms booked at least four cargoes — approximately 260,000 tons — of US soybeans late last week; the supplies are mainly scheduled for loading in December and January from the Pacific Northwest and US Gulf.
