the cost of transport, as carriage is a principal item of expense on exportedgrain. Therefore grain always seeks the nearest port. Port prices are also fixed accordingto the expense of the transport of grain from them to the foreign ports. It would bepossible to follow such fluctuations if simultaneous prices were obtained for each kind ofgrain; but as the prices are not defined in relation to the quality of grain, it would beimpracticable to make such comparisons and the conclusions founded on such data wouldbe misleading. Passing this question, it should be remarked that some ports show a differencein prices of 10 kopecks and more per poud, according to the amount of confidence thisor that kind of grain inspires on foreign markets. St-Petersberg, Reval, Riga, Berdiansk,Marioupol and Taganrog are famous for the good finish of their grain, which is there-fore more prized abroad, and exporters pay the producer better prices, demanding how-ever that the grain be of the highest quality.
