Corn falls sharply by as much as 10 bushels, oats and other grains slide amid expectations of policy shifts after discussions with President Wilson and Wheat Director Julius Barnes. Traders react to possible government disposal of the 1815 domestic crop and a government guarantee on payments, while some believe drastic price setbacks have already been priced in.
