Farmers Demand Higher Prices Amid Grain Export Battle
In the grain export trade this year a struggle grows between top exporters backed on both sides. Exporters reportedly hold enough grain to load all chartered tonnage, risking shipments unless freights or yields rise to ensure profits. Farmers, with years of independence, refrain from selling as a European war looms and prices look likely to climb. Sound freights stay dull, San Francisco activity improves, and freight traffic shifts south as lumber and coal trades remain firm.
