Wheat falls 1% on demand worries, but set for weekly gain
SINGAPORE, Sept 27 (Reuters) -Chicago wheat slid around 1% on Friday as dismal demand for U.S. cargoes weighed on prices, although the market is on track for a weekly gain amid worries that dry weather might slow down the pace of planting in top exporter Russia.
Soybeans and corn prices also eased, but both markets are set to end the week on positive note.
