CBOT corn slips on USDA report; oil futures rise to 8-week high

Corn for March delivery on the Chicago Board of Trade ended at $3.55 per bushel on Wednesday, slipping by 3.25 cents amid a bearish report from the Department of Agriculture. The agency lowered its export-demand estimates and slightly pared the 2009 crop size. Light sweet crude for April rose to an eight-week high to settle at $82.09 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, gaining by 60 cents after the Energy Information Administration reported narrowing fuel inventories and rising demand for oil products.
