The above values are based on the wholesale market price 

 for the materials, when sold in large lots at the principal 

 trade centers in New England. The valuation of a ton of 

 any mixed fertilizer based on the above figures will usually 

 fall ten dollars below the retail price at the local agency. 

 This variation includes such fixed charges as cost of mix- 

 ing, bags, cartage, and freight, salaries and commissions of 

 agents, and interest.
