See "Commerce." A shipment from one state to another under a contract for continuous carriage is interstate commerce, even as to so much of the journey as is within the limits of a single state (102 U. S. 541), or though the journey is temporarily interrupted before leaving the state (116 U. S. 517); but a shipment between points in the' same state is not interstate commerce, though the goods are carried out of the state en route (145 U. S. 192).
