FERTILIZER TONNAGE. 



The following summary gives the tonnage of mixed and unmixed fertilizers 

 which was sold from July 1, 1919, to July 1, 1920, as compared with the ton- 

 nage sold during the same period for the preceding year: — 



From the above figures it appears that there has been an increase in the 

 quantity of fertilizer sold, amounting to 6,543 tons, largely in the form of 

 mixed fertilizers, as compared with the previous season. 



The figures for the total tonnage sold from July 1, 1920, to January 1, 

 1921, will not be available before February, 1921, and will therefore appear as 

 part of the tonnage for the season of 1921. The amount sold each year be- 

 tween July 1 and January 1 is small, averaging only 3,000 to 4,000 tons, 

 which is used largely as a top dressing for onions and tobacco and for grass 

 seed ng. 



l^urther data with reference to the tonnage of different grades of mixed 

 fertilizer will be found in subsequent pages of this bulletin. 



FERTILIZER VALUATIONS. 



The fertilizer market is still far from normal, as may be seen from the fol- 

 lowing table, which gives the variations in wholesale quotations during the 

 six months preceding j\Iarch 1, 1920, and for December 27, 1920, as taken 

 from the "Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter."
