NEW YoRK. July M.-Extongyo frauds on
farmers In tho salo Of guano lavo boon dtHcov-
ercd, and the attorneys Of tho per1lviau Govorn-
mont hayo brought suit against fvo firms ac-
oused of adultorating tho guano. and using
brands or trademarks Of tho pc1uyian Govern
ment. Tho Tribune statoa that n year or two
ago tho Now York State Agricultural Society,
through committee appointed for tho purpose,
obtained bag Of Peruvian guano from each Of
ton dealors in this city. Six Of those ,worc
proved BY cloao analysis to bo adu1tornted, and
four woro gonuino. The pure Peruvian Chinoha
Island guano contains about IL per cont
Of ammonia, in which lioH tho chief
vnlue Of tho fortilizor. The inferior artiolo,
guanape, which aella at about e10 por ton less
than Ohincha, contains only from II to 10 per
cent, occasionally little more. An analysis Of
tile adultoratcd artlces reforred to above showed
that thoy contained only from to per cont
ammonia, and about 90 to 60 por cent earthly
matter wholly foreign to the genuine g,,nno.
The publication Of thoeo faots By tho Agrlcul-
tural Society did not have tho effect Of stopping
tho sulo Of adultorations, but the peruvian Gov
matter for the protection OF Its trade.
Papers have beon prepared, and tho auits
will como up IN tho Superior Court. Tho suits
aro five In number, and are against the following
il fertilizers: George Ricardo d: Co.: Of No. 1876
Water street; L. 3. Coxe Il Co., OF No. 107 Water
atroot; George +. White, of No. lGo Front
stroot; Robert O; ReeveB. Of Nos' 1s5 and 1s7
Water street. The complaints, as propnred BY
MesBrs. Prichara, Ohoato Il Smith, arc very yolu-
ninous, but two points Of alleged fraud are,
fret, the retllling of old bags which have CON
aa'd sna pasg es s'nG the 'qa FARMERS so 0ffaa0 ot
fcw cents each. Second, use OF imitation Of
brand upon genuine bags, which iB tho trade-
mark OF the Peruvian Government. Tho COM
plant aets forth that in the first caso old bags
with the Peruvian brand upon them nro filled
with spurious MATERIAL alleged to DO mannfac-
ttrod by theBe firms, and that it ia thus sold rs
genuine. This explains tho method of ono Of
tho alleged swindles. The uso Of tho trade
aa % i has no bs1ps1a %1G @ gsnHn9 n 1s hays
Of the agents Of the oonsigneos Of tho Peruvian
Government. The brand on the Chtnoha
Island stock is branded as follows: "War-
rantod I9 No: 81 peruVian g4aGo, imported INTO
tue @ Peruvian aovarnmont.% m Tic brand on the
second quality is the same, with the addition Of
the word " Guanapo below tho last line. In
the above only the iirat-namod brand has been
initiated. Tho imitation can DO readily Jiscer1,-
ed, az the letters are put on with atencil-plato
and bruRh, and honco tho letters are brokon and
disconnected, unlike those in tho printed brands.

for word. photographs Of difreront sty1cs Of
brands are attached to tho complaints. Suits
are for hoayy damages, and to restrict defond-
ants from further continuing tho sale OF guano
in bags thus marked and redllod.
