In ammouiates, sucli as dried blood, the unit is of ammonia, 

 of which 82.35 per cent, is nitrogen; in acid phosphates the unit 

 is of phosphoric acid (phosphorus pentoxid). 



The nitrogenous materials and animal sources of phosphoric acid 

 show considerable variations from last year's prices. Sulfate 

 of ammonia, dried blood, and fish guano have advanced markedly, 

 while in the case of concentrated tanlcage, refuse bone-black and 

 rough bone tliere has been a distinct falling off; nitrate of soda and 

 ground bone have remained stationary. Bone meal prices have ad- 

 vanced 11 per cent, over last year's figures. The following data are 

 from the monthly reports of Thos. J. White & Co., fertilizer brokers, 

 Baltimore, Md., giving wholesale quotations upon ammoniates:
