In Chicago on March 28 the grain market faced a sharp setback as wheat and corn prices fell amid uncertainty over government inquiries into market abuses. Wheat dropped 1% to 11 cents, corn 7% to 8% lower, oats down 1% to 2 cents, and provisions also declined. May wheat futures tumbled 83 cents per bushel late in the week as talk of drastic regulatory action rose, with wet weather and lagging export demand adding to the nervous trading climate. The corn market weakened further as visible supply increased even as recent receipts stayed low.
