Trade today, one of the great-
est one session declines in the
1960s.
- loss on the opening was
later trimmed on some mixed
buying activity, but liquidations
in the corn affected virtually
all commodities on the exchange.
Trade was active and mixed
from the opening as the Septem-
ber corn futures opened 412 cents
under Friday’s close. The liqui-
dation was attributed to the
government decision to rescind
an earlier ruling permitting
warehouse reseating of 1968 crop
corn.
The government said that un-
der the present farm program it
will keep domestic use and ex-
ports as high as possible. The
1968 corn crop was lower than is
expected to be consumed this
year. The ruling does affect
any other grains of that year or
the 1967 corn crop.
