Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

In 1918, the following corn trade associations combined to form a national federation:- Liverpool (founded 1853); Glasgow (1855); London (1878); Hull (1888); Bristol Channel and West of England (1889); and Leith (1890). They also invited three other associations to join them - the National Association of Corn and Agricultural Merchants; the National Association of British and Irish Millers; and the Maltsters' Association of Great Britain. The federation acted as a national pressure group, representing and protecting the interests of the corn trade and providing a useful channel of communication between the trade and the government and other outside bodies. It was wound up in 1972 following the formation of the Grain and Feed Trade Association.
