May 13 (Reuters) - Futures for Canada's main stock index
pointed to a lower opening on Monday, as the United States and
China appeared to be at a deadlock over trade negotiations.
    In the talks between the world's two largest economies,
Washington demanded promises of concrete changes to Chinese law
and Beijing said it would not swallow any "bitter fruit" that
harmed its interests.  urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL2N22O02O
