Bonds fall after brief rise on payrolls data.

U.S. Treasury prices fell on Friday after rising briefly on a government report that showed smaller-than-expected job growth in March.
The Labor Department said private and public employers added 162,000 workers in March, below the consensus forecast of a 190,000 increase among 82 analysts polled by Reuters. The jobless rate, a gauge of labor slack, held steady as expected at 9.7 percent.
The price on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note last traded down 8/32 at 97-25/32. This compared with a 1/32 gain shortly before the payrolls data.
The 10-year note yield, which moves inversely to its price, was 3.90 percent versus 3.87 percent before the jobs data.
The U.S. bond market will close early at noon EDT (1600 GMT) for Good Friday, while the stock market was closed.
