More Cars for Corn Shipment Reported
New York reports from Food Administration and transport officials say additional cars will head west for corn, then return to elevators for reloads. The movement is seen as satisfactory with further growth expected. oats face pressure as corn movement rises. Cash grain premiums barely steady, export buying limited by meagre holdings. Bears hold little progress. corn trade light, oats fair, and hog movement rising amid better weather. Government control of wheat flour substitutes weakens corn and oat prices. Premier resigns in Amsterdam as Dr Von Seydier offers cabinet resignation to Emperor Charles.
