LONDON, Aug 30 (Reuters) - Exports of British Forties crude 
will rise to 406,000 barrels per day (bpd) in October, up from 
380,000 bpd in September, trading sources citing a loading 
programme said on Wednesday. 
    The schedule consists of 21 cargoes of 600,000 barrels each, 
up from 19 cargoes in September.  
    Forties, together with the North Sea Brent, Oseberg and 
Ekofisk grades, underpin the dated Brent benchmark price that is 
used for most of the world's oil trades.
