Canola falls on harvest hedging

(All figures in Canadian dollars unless noted)
CHICAGO, Oct 19 (Reuters) - ICE Canada canola fell for the
sixth time in eighth sessions on Monday, weighed down by some
hedging by farmers and commercial operators who were guarding
against further declines as the end of harvest neared, traders
said.
* Canola harvest was close to complete, and
bigger-than-expected yields have flooded elevators and storage
bins, traders said.
* Weakness in the Chicago Board of Trade soy complex added
further pressure to canola.
* November canola RSX5 settled $1.50 lower at $471.10 per
tonne on volume of 8,171 contracts. The contract firmed early
but turned lower after hitting resistance at its 50-day moving
average.
* January canola RSF6 ended down $1.10 at $476.00 per
tonne on volume of 7,075 contracts.
* November-January spread traded 5,487 times between $4.20
and $5.00, premium January.
