Nat-gas prices on Wednesday closed slightly lower as prices consolidated this week's sharp gains. Nat gas has rallied sharply this week and posted an 8-1/2 month nearest-futures high Monday on forecasts for colder U.S. temperatures that would boost heating demand for nat-gas. The Commodity Weather Group said below-normal temperatures are seen in the Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, and Southeast from Oct 16-20, with another cold blast expected the following week.
