Argentina Sends Corn to the United States
New York January 5 Nearly 300 000 bushels of Argentine corn were being unloaded and more under contract as the tariff act reduced duties. Over 1,000,000 bushels have arrived since the tariff, boosting competition and lowering cash values. Thirteen ships are en route or loading, with 5,990,000 bushels under contract for delivery.
