Future Nitrate of Soda If history repeats itself the farmer who buys nitrate of soda now will have a good profit in it at the time -of delivery. Our advance sales last year were vpry large and every farmer who bought from us made money. No one knows what the market is going to do, but we have confidence in it, and are buying quite liberally around present figures. The price is^Yer^jQlich higher than last year, but based upon the cost of otherarrlT^^ ates, nitrate is by far the cheapest material on the mar? ket. Already the fertilizer factories are naming price* on mixed goods, at seven to eight dollars per ton for FaH shipment in excess of what they were in the spring. This indicates to some extent ,the course of raw mater? ials of which nitrate forms a very important part. If you think as well of the market as we do, come in and place your order with us. No guaranty as to price ac? companies our sale. It is binding when the contract is signed. O'Donnell & Company
