Allies Will Get Surplus of Grain From Argentine
New York December 4 The corn market showed overbought signals as prices eased after early advances amid liquidation. Reports from the Southwest indicated active cash demand and discussion of Argentine competition. Britain and France reportedly bought heavily in Argentina, with surplus grain used as a market lever. Heavy grain loadings at the seaboard and on the lakes kept the export trend strong while the barter system affected storage. Barley and rye softened slightly due to corn declines, but cash markets remained steady. No fresh export business was reported, yet demand persisted to absorb offerings, keeping large stocks accessible for export.
