There exists, moreover, a degree of inter-relation between corn, wheat, and rye prices. The United States ordinarily produces over TO per cent of theworlds corn, more than twice the production of the rest of the worldcombined; yet our exports seldom exceed 1^ per cent of the domesticproduction. They averaged in 1909-1913 only about 15 per cent ofthe worlds exports. On the other hand, Argentina, whose averagecrop is about one-sixteenth that of the United States, contributesnearly three times as much as the latter to the world commerce incorn—12 per cent of the total exports, or over half of its all corn exports
