Canada Wheat Purchases Stir U S Grain Board Plans
May 6 Minneapolis reports President Julius Barnes of the United States Grain Corporation said earlier reports that the U S grain agency bought 25 million bushels of Canadian wheat were unfounded. He confirmed a later statement about purchasing a moderate amount from Canada and noted imports would be determined by surveys. He warned against expectations of site delivery and said American elevators are well stocked but distribution is the main challenge. In Chicago, corn futures fell 10 to 12 cents on the news of Canadian import plans, with July easing to 172 and Sept to 18, briefly stabilizing before a rally.
