It is probable that the export flour
trade from the great wheat belt of Kan

sent to European points via the Gulf.
Nearly all Of the export shipments from
Kansas and Oklahoma now are going to
Galveston or New Orleans. Western
railroads and lines which touch Gulf
points are encouraging this movement
and are granting special rates to ex-
porters. 1t is claimed that the excessive
