Heavy Wheat Buying Indicates Britain Fills Storage Space
London dealers on the Baltic exchange see heavy wheat cargo purchases as the government urging millers to fill available storage and maintain a three month supply as a national defence measure. Over three days about 14,000,000 bushels were bought, with prices up only six cents a bushel. The buying appeared to be concentrated among a few millers with various positions, and officials have not confirmed government involvement, though a formal statement is expected. Birmingham reports an Anglo American trade accord will be a straightforward trade agreement, not a political concession, per Captain Euan Wallace.
