APPENDIX I 



335 



s. d. 

 Soluble phosphate, 38 times Is. 11^., equal 



to say 3 12 10 per ton. 



Insoluble phosphate is not valued in a superphosphate. 



NOTE. The units have reference solely to the MARKET PRICE of 

 manures, and not to their AGRICULTURAL VALUES. 



Thus, in stating soluble phosphate in dissolved bones at 2s. 3d. per 

 unit, and that in superphosphate at Is. 11^., it is meant that these 

 are the prices per unit at which soluble phosphate can be bought in 

 these two manures ; but it does not mean that the soluble phosphate 

 in the one is d. per unit better as a manure than that in the other. 

 It is probably no better. 



UNITS TO BE USED IN DETERMINING THE MARKET PRICE OF MANURES. 

 Terms Cash, including bags gross weight not including carriage. 



N.B. These units are based on the retail cash prices of manures at 

 Leith and Glasgow. When these units are multiplied by the 

 percentages in the analysis of a manure, they will produce a value 

 representing very nearly the cash price per ton at which two tons 

 may be bought in fine sowable condition at Leith or Glasgow. 

 Larger purchases may be made on more favourable terms, but 

 for smaller purchases an extra charge of Is. Qd. per ton is made. 



FOR SEASON 1909. CASH PRICES AS FIXED ON 3RD FEBRUARY.
