This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Monday, May 14th. The grain market shows prices slip across the board. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey.

McGATHEY ... "Wheat was also lower. It seems that export demand was seriously weak and the markets really stopped considering the winter wheat troubles at hand and I think that that's a little bit of fatigue in looking at the bad weather that we've had in the U.S. plains. And so, until those numbers actually come up and give us our total crop numbers I think that the market is destined to have a lot more volatility. Now, the bigger sell-off today again could be total sentiment of 'buy the rumors, sell the fact.' After the report yesterday, there was a little bit of a blip in the market and then the sell-off began. And, even with wheat we gave back. You know, it's been down five days in a row and gave back everything that we gained over the week so we'll see if we start again on Monday to get the market turned around some."
