Continued concerns about tight Canadian canola supplies and the need to ration demand also provided some support for canola values. However, beneficial weather for the development of the soybean crop in South America slowed the advances, market watchers said. General firmness in the value of the Canadian dollar, as it remained above parity with its US counterpart, also tempered the gains. As of 10:38 CST, about 4,555 canola contracts had traded. Durum contracts also experienced some activity as of 10:38 CST, with 15 contracts traded at a slightly lower price level. Milling wheat and barley were untraded and unchanged.
