Review of Wheat Situation on Winnipeg Grain Exchange 1935
The Winnipeg review notes a hectic year with prospects for 1935. Key points include McFarland's retirement from stabilization work, reduced wheat carryover, and possible end of stabilizing actions. It cites investigations into futures operations, potential export quotas, and Argentina's nonparticipation in accords. A poor growing year and pests reduced yield, while US demand boosted low grade grain prices. Wheat prices remained pegged, with two pegs in 1935 and others earlier in 1933.
