Wheat stock declines shrink world wheat exports
The Agricultural Situation and Outlook for 1937 notes a reduced world wheat stock buffer after a string of small crops, especially in North America. The 1936 harvest fell about 8 million bushels from 1935, with Western Europe importing more, shifting shipments upward. Canada halved its stocks from 203.3 to 109.4 million bushels by Aug 1 1936, dampening export prospects.
