charged a greater freight rate for
wheat than for -four; that while this
was true, the difference in freight
rates to the seabOard from Minneapo-
lis and against Milwaukee, was more
than II cents per 100. The conclusion
derived from these conditions was
that by means Of discriminating in
favor of Minneapolis and against Mil
waukee, and the increase of the rate
ON wheat over flour, sent the wheat to
Minneapolis, the differences in rates
to the seaboard not being sufficient to
warrant wheat being brought to Mil

and then shipped to the seaboard. 1t
