No second certificate or receipt shall be issued for the same property, or any part thereof, while any other or prior certificate is outstanding and in force, nor shall any such commodities be sold, encumbered, transferred or removed from such elevator, warehouse or other structure wherein the same was stored at the time such certificate or receipt was issued by the warehouseman or any agent or employe thereof, without the written consent of the holder thereof endorsed thereon.
