* Prices at Liverpool. 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 end of 

 August and are, as a rule, considerably lower than the prices at local 

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

 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 

 manurial value is £2 Is. per ton. The food value per ton is theiefore £7 19s. 

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

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

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

 of starch equivalent is Tlld. A similar calculation will show the relative cost 

 per lb. of starch cqnivalent 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 value at the prices quoted on his own market.
