Soybeans held modest gains and wheat markets are mixed on Friday, with both markets pressured by larger-than-expected deliveries on the first notice day for May contracts. Deferred corn futures were mostly unchanged, while the soon-to-expire May was up about 2 cents.
There were no deliveries for corn and that market also was supported by an export sale to Japan.
