* Prices at Liverpool, 

 t Consuming value. 



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

 wholesale transactions have taken place in the larger markets, usually London, and 

 refer to the price ex mill or store. They are, as a rule, considerably 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 of 

 the feeding stuffs on offer at their local market by the method of calculation used 

 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 per ton is therefore £12 19s. 

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

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

 again by 22 '4, the number of pounds of starch equivalent in 1 unit, the cost per lb. 

 of starch equivalent is 1*1 Id. A similar calculation will show the 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 ding stuff 

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