No one stands behind a product like the rr.r. you deal iifc every day. e feel that the local businesses deserve every bit of support hict local consumers can give them.

The cost to the Japunese was the World price, about $1.33 per bu. The 21 cents per bu. freight rate is one of the cheapest m the Pacific. This made the cost of this wheat at the Japanese port approximately $1.76 per bu. The supported price of do mestic wheat in Japan is about S3. 60 per bu. This gave the Japenese Govt, approx. SIM profit. To sum this up the four principal parties to a set tlement wouid end up in about this position: 1 Japan ould gain the most from opening the docks.
