(Bloomberg) -- Canadian stocks rose, pushing the main

agricultural companies higher after it raised its profit forecast.

The Standard & Poor's/TSX Composite Index added 46.03, or 0.3
percent, to 14,183.44 as of 9:40 a.m. in Toronto. The benchmark
built on last week's gain of 2.5 percent, the best since March. A
close at this level would exceed its record close of 14,146.74
reached June 4.
