New York Grain Corp Lifts Embargo on Wheat Exports
The United States Grain Corporation announced that embargos on wheat and wheat flour will be lifted December 15, following President Wilson's proclamation ending control over two years. Julius Barnes, wheat director, said trade facilities will reconstruct as the grain corporation winds down its three years of activity. Canadian wheat and flour will enter U.S. markets freely under customs rulings, expanding spring wheat flour supplies for bakers amid earlier Northwest crop shortages. The corporation has sold about 30,000,000 bushels from its stocks to western markets and mills nationwide report ample wheat, with some quantities still light in certain areas.
