The price of wheat is a world price; and it is a matter of little moment whether the Canadian wheat goes directly into the markets of the other countries of the world or indirectly through this country.

If there ever was a time when America had anything to fear from foreign competition, that time has passed.

The imports of wheat have come mainly from Canada and Argentina and have not competed with the domestic crop.
