Valuation in Neighboring States. 



It is desirable, from all points of view, that the schedules of val- 

 uation throughout a district in which similar market conditions pre- 

 vail, should differ as little as possible. It has been our practice in 

 the past, to conform our schedule to that adopted after ver^^ careful 

 cooperative study of market conditions for each year, by the New 

 England States and New Jersey, except where the peculiar condi- 

 tions of our markets haA-e made the valuations diverge too largely 

 from the actual selling prices, as in the case of ground bone and 

 dissolved rock phosphates. The schedules for these States for 1905 

 and 1906 are as follows:

 less quantity of citrate soluble than is obtained by use of the oQlcla^ method a vajua^op of 4^
