A contributor in Mixed Goods notes cotton prices in New York rise with demand and fall after purchases. A buyer travels to observe the market and reports mixed expectations. The firm urges quick action to buy fertilizer early for prompt delivery, planting, and harvest timing.
The country storekeeper adapts to urban competition by offering reliable fertilizers at home. Farmers saving trips and buying now reap time and crop benefits, while city buyers face higher freight costs. Voice urges readers to order fertilizer locally to support rural stores.

It cautions against blindfolding oneself to fertilizer differences, suggesting both options involve hard work and risk, and ends with a garbled comparison to buying a cheap four cylinder car.
