In animoniates such 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, except in one or two instances, show 

 an advance over last year's prices. Nitrate of soda and concen- 

 trated tankage show the greatest change. Bone meal and fish guano 

 (dry) have advanced noticeably; sulphate of ammonia and dried 

 blood, slightly; while there has been a slight decrease in the price 

 of fish guano (acidulated) and a marked decrease in case of rough 

 bone. 



The following data are from the monthly reports of Thos. J. 

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