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

 transactions have taken place in Loudon, unless otherwise stated, and refer to the price ex mill or 

 store. The prices were current at the end of October and are, as a rule, considerably lower than 

 ttie prices at local country markets, the difference being due to carriage and dealers' comuiission. 

 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 coconut cake is offered 

 locally at £10 per ton. Its manurial value is £1 16s per ton. The food value per ton is therefore 

 £8 4s. per ton. Dividing this figure by 73, the starch equivalent of roconut cake as given in 

 the table, the cost per unit of starch equivalent is 2s. 3d. Dividing this again bv 'i'2-4. the numlier 

 of pounds of starch equivalent in 1 unit, the cost per lb. of starch'equiviilent is"l-21d A similar 

 calculation will show the relative cost per lb. of starch equivalent of other feeding fluff's on the same 

 local market. Frcm the results of such calculations a buyer can determine which feeding stuff gives 

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