SYMBOL LOOKUP

Light, sweet crude for April delivery fell 12 cents to settle at $110.21 on the Nymex, after rising earlier to just below its latest trading record of $111, set Thursday.

Other energy futures rose Friday. April heating oil futures rose 2.17 cents to settle at a record $3.1465 a gallon after earlier setting a new trading record of $3.222 a gallon. April gasoline futures rose 0.66 cent to settle at $2.6894 a gallon.

In agriculture markets, wheat, corn and soybean futures plunged amid expectations that the U.S. economic downturn will dampen demand.

Wheat for May delivery plummeted 52.5 cents to settle at $11.915 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade, while May soybeans lost 50 cents to settle at $13.5275 a bushel. May corn fell 10.25 cents to settle at $5.5925 a bushel on the CBOT.
