* Prices at Liverpool. t Farm value. 



Note. — 'I'he prices quoted above represent the average prices at which actual 

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

 refer to tht; price ex mill or store. The prices were current at the end of 

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

 country markets, the difference 1 eing due to carriage aiul 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 offeied locally at £10 per ton. 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, the number of pounds of starch equivalent in 1 unit, the cost {)er lb. 

 of starch equivalent is I'lld. A similar calculatioa 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 value at the prices quoted on his ow^n market.
