Western Canadian wheat bids seen softening.

Spring wheat bids in Western Canada were lower during the week ended March 24, as favourable weather in the U.S. Plains and large world supplies weighed on the market. Average Canada Western Red Spring wheat prices were down $4-$5 per tonne across the Prairie provinces. Average durum prices were mostly lower, with bids in southern Alberta, up by 25 cents, being the lone exception. Bids in Saskatchewan were steady to down $2 per tonne, to range from $260 to $263.
