 The company has obtained options on two potash companies and has received offers of sale from or inquired the price of several other companies. These are al small concerns and outside Of the great potash syndicate, the ten associate ed properties of which are valued at 22o,- OUO,U0e marks (about S56, 250000.) The Prus- sian government also owns potash fields of equal value.
 Agents of the Virginia-Carolina CheIni-4 cal Company are making persistent ef-. forts to gam a footnold in the potash in- dustry here and Dr. Schneider, the com pany's attorney, is examining into the titles of potash properties for them.
