[549] Dahnke-Walker Milling Co. v. Bondurant, 257 U.S. 282 (1921). Here a Tennessee corporation, in pursuance of its practice of purchasing grain in Kentucky to be transported to and used in its Tennessee mill, made a contract for the purchase of wheat, to be delivered in Kentucky on the cars of a public carrier, intending to forward it as soon as delivery was made. It was held that the transaction was in interstate commerce, notwithstanding the contract was made and to be performed in Kentucky; and that the possibility that the purchaser might change its mind after delivery and sell the grains in Kentucky or consign it to some other place in that State did not affect the essential character of the transaction. Interstate commerce, said the Court, "is not confined to transportation from one State to another, but comprehends all commercial intercourse between different States and all the component parts of that intercourse."
