PRICES OF FERTILIZING MATERIALS 
AND CHEMICALS AND COMMER¬ 
CIAL FERTILIZERS. 
New York, Sept. 1, 18S5. 
The increased demand, usual at this season 
of the year, has caused a slight advance in the 
prices of some of the chemicals used in the 
manufacture of fertilizers. The prices, how¬ 
ever, are uniformly low—in some cases lower 
than ever before, 
Ammoniacal material is especially low. 
Sulphate of ammonia, owing to a decrease 
in demand from abroad, is selling lower than 
ever before, sales being made as low as 3>£ 
cents per pouud in large lots. 
The stocks of both high and low grades of 
blood are better than they have been recent¬ 
ly, though values continue steady, and show 
but little change. 
An advance has been made in the price of 
nitrate of soda; the demand has, however, 
fallen off in consequence, aud the present 
price will probably not be sustained. 
The price of muriate of potash being fixed 
by the syndicate controlling the production 
and sale of the article in Germany, fluctuates 
only with the rates of ocean freight, which 
are usually lowest from Europe to this coun¬ 
try at this season of the year. The other 
products of the Stassfurt miues are also 
lower.

There is a higb-grade superphosphate made 
by some manufacturers (,the Mapes Co. for 
one) that, according to Prof. S. W. Johnson, 
contains more than double the amount of 
phosphoric acid usually found in higb-grade 
phosphates. He say 6 that at the high price of 
$70 per ton retail, he believes it to be the 
cheapest source of soluble phosphoric- acid in 
our markets, By inquiry, we find that this 
is made by treating aud dissolving bone with 
phosphoric acid instead of sulphuric acid. 
Our western and far-western friends inter¬ 
ested in the use of fertilizers should bear this 
in mind, because upon such high grade goods, 
they could well afford to pay the freight from 
distant points.
