C. Rep. 128, to which reference is subsequently made in this report, we considered the rate upon flour from Buffalo to Boston and New York and finally reached the conclusion that a rate of 13 cents to Boston would not be excessive. Ordinarily the same rate ap- plies to the movement of wheat and flour, and if we are to adhere to this rule and to our decision in the Banver Milling case, we must hold that, while domestic ex-lake rates are liberal, they are not so high as to be pronounced unreasona...ble. This wheat moves from Chicago to Buffalo largely by tramp steamer, and the rate under which it moves is subject to the most active com- petition. While many attempts have been made to control this com- 362 ATLANTIC PORT DIFPEEENTIALS [507] petition, they have never succeeded, and the resulting rate was during the season of 1910 perhaps lower than for any previous season. It was said that wheat had moved for about 1.25 cents per bushel. It will be seen therefore that the resulting through rate from Chicago to Boston by lake and rail is a reasonable one, and, furthermore, that it is materially lower than the all-rail rate.
