"This country is the home of 1 ihosphate, which is the basis of 1 ertilizers. Germany imports ] >ur phosphates extensively. ( This country also has a good upply of sulphur for the manu acture of sulphuric acid, with ' vhich to dissolve the phosphates ' ind make them available for mmediate crop assimilation. It , ilso produces a large amount of ' litrogen-bearing products, such ulphate of ammonia, fish and ( neat tankages, seed meals, etc. t is dependent upon Chile for ts nitrate of soda. Nitrate of oda for agricul tural purposes is lot contraband and Chile should et it out freely, but the question s, can we secure neutral vessels o bring it to this country? "Knowing that we have sufficient phosphates, and assuming hat we shall obtain sufficient litrogen, there is every reason to >elieve that the sale of nitrogen i- - ? # - >us, soiuoie, pnospnauc iernii/.irs will be equal to that of anv ear, and there is every reason o believe that profits will not>e impaired."?The Wall Street oiirnal.
