2S. Grain found at the port to be weevily may be exported provided it is not 

 shipped in the same hold of any vessel carrying sound grain. It may, however, 

 be sold to best advantage on account of whom it may concern without first waiting 

 sender's instructions, should circumstances indicate such a course to be expedient.

 exported oversea or is milled before export. The port official concerned will 

 communicate to chief accountant and sending station the action taken.
