FERTILISER PRICES
The prices of some fertilisers have been reduced. Mr A. R. Clariilgc, the sales manager for Kempthorne Prossers at Hornby, said this week that the prices to farmers for ammonium sulphate had been reduced by 80c a ton, dl-ammonlum phosphate (D.A.P.) by $3.10 a ton, and for potassium chloride by $1.70 a ton.
The prices of ammonium sulphate, ex Hornby, are now $45220 in bulk and $49.45 in bags, for D.A.P., $90.75 in bulk and $95 in bags, and for potassium chloride $39.65 in bulk and $43.90 in bags.
Mr Claridge said that the reductions in the prices of ammonium sulphate and potassium chloride had also had the effect of reducing prices of mixtures such as ammonia super and 30 per cent potash super.
