   Soybean Oil, Canola Survive Friday's Selling in Grains

   December soybean oil closed up 1.27 cent and November canola was up C$2.10,
avoiding the losses other grain contracts suffered Friday. December corn closed
down 18 1/4 cents and November soybeans were down 10 1/2 cents, pressured by
concerns about lackluster demand and the possibility of rain in August.
