Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1877-09-14

Messrs. Hohson, lInriado & Co., New York,
Agents for the sale of Peruvian Guano, refer
ring to a shipment ola part parcel OF their pur-
chase of 400 tons GuanaPe Guano ex
"Louis Walsh" Now, il must be borne in
mind that this letter was dated August 20,
1877, and consequently this pdrt-parcd could
not reach them from New York under eight
to ten days after shipment. In this, therefore,
dates are significant, for when Messrs. Dunlop
& Co.'s Circular of September LIST was printed
they had not received one pound OF the Wash's
cargo, and all that was shipped them on
August 29th was but $50 tons-enough only
to make about 400 tons of their Fertilizer
Now, do they design to impose on the public
by endeavorng to create the impression that
all their manufactureiof this fall 9 sales is made
of this character of Guano. Why, not one ton
of other than Lobos or II per cent. Guiana aoas
shipped from Ncw York to Georgetown hts
year prior 10 this 100 tons Of 29h August! We
know the quantity and kind of every cargo
of Guano gone from New York to Georgetown
this year.
| Now what is the inference? They cannot
deny that all their Maximum manufactured up
! 10 the date of their Circular was made OF either
Lobos or 10 per cent. Guano. Now, what has
| been done with the thousands of tons they say
they manufacture, which must have been made
during July and August, in order TO supply
their fall trade. All their Agents, and those
who have purchased Of them this fall, prior
to the arrival of the vessel with the part
parcel from New York, say 9Th or 7th OF Sep
TENDER, must have received maximum" made
with either Lobos or 10 per cent. Guano.
We presume the knowledge that 400 tons
have since been made, or will be made,
of 10 per cent. guano, will not add
TO their comfort. If their late manu-
features are to be SO much better than
the stocks now held by their agents, how can
these agents compete with the better article
they now claim to manufacturer This part
parcel trick, we think, will react, as all tricks
in business do. Now, as we assert, and it will
not be denied, that Messrs. Dunlop & Co. had
not received a single ton OF other than Lobos
or 10 per cent. Guano up to the date Of theiI
circular, it follows that if they use only Peru.
Wan Guano TO ammOniate their fertilizers, and
have mixed these guanos together and nsed
them in their manufactures up to the 18th o.
September, the 800 pounds they claim to use il
each ton would yield only 60 to 65 pounds of
Ammonia, or to 81 per ceEt., which is jus
about what DR.. Liebig found in his analysis
and il they used the 10 per cent. Guano alone
they could not have over per cent, OF Am
monia. This is apparent to any one.
For the information of the farmers OF Mont
gomery aud Frederick. counties and our patrons
generally, we desire to say that our stock o
EXCELSIOR for this falls sales, over &, O0(
tons, was manufactured prior to 18th of July
and we have yet on hand nearly 1900 tons o
high grade Peruvian Guano containing, BY
recent analysis Of DR.. Liebig, 10 81 per cent
of ammonia, to manufacture Excelsior fol
1878; and our patrons are assured that they
WILL next year, get an article of the same hgl
standard as that manufactured in this and il
preceding years.
Very respectfully,
!. J. TURNER & co.
