* Prices at Liveip>ol. f Farm value. 



Note. — The prices quoted above represent the average prices at which actual 

 wholesale transactions have taken place in London, unless otherwise stated, and 

 refer to the price ex mill or store. The prices were current at the eml of 

 July and are, as a rule, consitlerably lower than the prices at local 

 country markets, the difference Leing due to carriage and dealers' commission. 

 Buyers can, however, easily compare the relative prices ot the teeding stuffs 

 on offer at their local market by the method of calculation useil in these 

 notes. Thus, suppose palm kernel cake is offered locally at £10 per ton. Its 

 manuriai value is £2 Is. per ton. The food value i)er ton is theiefore £7 19s. 

 per ton. Dividing this figure by 75, the starch equivalent of paUn kernel cake as 

 given in the table, the cost per unit of starch equivalent is 2s. Id. Dividing this 

 again by 22'4, the numl^cr of pounds of starch etjuivalent in 1 unit, the cost per lb. 

 of starch e(iuivalent is l"lld. A similar aiiculation will show ihe relative cost 

 per lb. of starch equivalent of other feeding stuffs on the same local market. 

 From the results of such calculations a buyer can determine which fe.vling stuff 

 gives him the best value at the prices quoted on his own market.
