ficient guaranty that the grade has really been given in accordance 

 with the grain's quality and condition, will induce these firms to take 

 up the importation of American corn again. 



"We don't object to the export of inferior grain, but to the fact that 

 the grades are not given according to the condition of the grain, so 

 that the certificates are entirely unreliable. Perhaps some buyers on 

 this side want the inferior grain, but those who deal in the better quali- 

 ties want to be sure that when they pay a better price for the higher 

 grade, the certificate gives them the guaranty to get this grade. 



"As soon as grades all over the United States are uniform, and as 

 soon as certificates of inspection will be reliable, the importation of 

 American grain will certainly increase after the sharp decline which it 

 has experienced. 



"Uniform Government inspection will bring a higher standard of 

 export grain, induce the European importer to buy American grain 

 more freely again, and consequently benefit the honest American ex- 

 porter at the cost of his dishonest competitor. It will greatly purify 

 the trade and make an end to an unbearable situation. 

 Yours truly, 

 Het Comite van Graanhandelaren te Rotterdam, 

 Rotterdam Corn Trade Association, 

 A. Coan, Sr., President, 

 H. Van Randeryk, Secretary."
