   Wheat, Corn, Soybeans Leak Lower; Bean Oil Recovers Only to Fail Again

   On a slow day of trade, wheat markets ended the 3-day corrective rally to
fall sharply again. Corn and soybeans rebuffed early strength to slide lower as
a rapid planting pace and the prospect for rain next week weighed on values.
Bean oil, having gapped lower in Thursday's overnight trade, recovered to trade
higher before failing late.
