I t VIRGINIA-CAROLINA CHEMICAL I Reduction in Prices of Fertilizers What Mr. Borden and Others Have to Say. Two Views of It. 1 Charle&ton News and Courier. ; Yesterday Mr. Borden, local man ager for the Virginia and Carolina Company, was shown the following article, which appeared in the Macon Telegraph of January 31: I The; recent purchase by the Vir ginia and Carolina Chemical Company of many of the leading fertilizer fac tories lnxne fcioutn. it is said, will cause a reduction, instead of an increase, in prices of commercial fertilizer. When it became known that this cbmnanv had bought up the Southern factories the natural conclusion was that it was. done for the purpose of raising' the price. -rL gentleman wno is posted, but is not in any . way connected with the concern, told a Telegraph re porter j yesterday that the chem ical company had already cut E rices , so as to drive out the Baltimore and Northern fertilizers. 'You may look out for a livelv ferti lizer war, so far as rates are concerned,' he said; 'and, remarkable td relate, tne farmer will get the benefit of it. You khow, as a rule,; the farmer gets tne worst end ot everything f that is sold, but in this particular case he will receive all of the benefit of the cut rates. ' ; Just to what extent the rate cutting will be carried I don't know, and, in fact, no one can now tell, as tne war has just started, but it is liable to be carried to a great extent.' All of the fertilizer factories have big stocks on hand, as this is the J. time of year when they begin to sell. Four- cents cotton has made the farmers of the South slow to buy this year, and very few, if any, of them wiljl buy as much as they did last year." i After reading the article Mr. Borden said: -."Well, the facts are somewhat as stated.
