age price of about 30 percent low
er than the price which prevailed
for the spring season this year.

one made on June 7 for the North
ern States. It follows conferences
with i individual manufacturers
which places the department in a
position to state that the basic
price of mixed fertilizers f. o. b.

of Baltimore, Norfolk, Wilming
ton, Charleston, Savannah,. .Taek-
sonville, Pensacola, and Mobile
prices at Baltimore, Philadelphia,
