tPer ton. 



JBone phosphate of lime 10 cents per unit. 



§Bone phosphate of lime 35 cents per unit. 



In ammoniates sncli as dried blood and fish guano, 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 an advance over last year's prices in almost every instance. 

 Nitrate of soda, ground bone and bone meal have advanced mark- 

 edly. The advance of price in case of sulphate of ammonia, dried 

 blood, rougli bone, and refuse bone black, while not so marked is 

 quite noticeable. Fish guano is the only material which shows a 

 decrease over last year's prices.

 & Co., fertilizer brokers, Baltimore, Md,, giving wholesale quotations
