* Prices at Liverpool. 



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 end of December and are. as a rule, considerably lower than 

 the prices at local country markets, the difference being 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 ion. Its manurial value is £2 Is. per ton. The food value per ton is therefore 

 £7 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. thelniunber 

 of pounds of starch equivalent in 1 unit, the cost per lb. of starch equivalent is VI Id. A similar 

 calciilation 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 feeding stuff gives 

 him the best vahie at the prices quoted on his own market. F
