Aug 3 (Reuters) – China bought at least 13 cargoes, or about 800,000 metric tons, of U.S. soybeans on Friday, stepping up purchases to take advantage of a decline in prices, two Asian traders told Reuters said on Monday.

The purchases take total new-crop U.S. sales to China to about 5 million tons, the traders added.
