228 EDINBURGH CORN MARKET. STATEMENT saowmo THE Pawns or WHEAT, BARLEY, AND OATS FOR '1‘le YEAR 1939. The offering of grain by farmers and others in the area of the Market was not resumed during the year. It is hoped that advantage Will be taken of the privilege afforded to farmers and merchants of offering grain in the open market, as un- doubtedly it enables them to secure the market value, and gives a desirable indication of the true value of the various grains. The Corn Sales Act of 1921 provides that all sales are to be effected by weight only, and expressed in terms of or by reference to the hundredweight of 112 lb. Experience has proved it to be convenient to quote at a price per 4} cwt. for Wheat, 4 cwt. for Barley, and 3 cwt. for Oats. The following statement gives a. record of the year’s proceedings in Edinburgh Corn Market. WHEAT, BARLEY, OATS, 1939. per 4} cwt. per 4 cwt. per 3 cwt. Highest, Lowest. Highest. Lowest. Highest.
