1888.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 33. Ill 



This article has been, of late, introduced into our market 

 in lump form, to take the place of the English lump salt for 

 stock feeding. The sample sent on for examination was of 

 a very fair quality, and compared very favorably with the 

 former. Its selling price at Springfield, Mass., is stated: 

 from 5 to 10 pounds, at 1| cents per pound ; 100 pounds, at 

 75 cents ; wholesale, per ton of 2,000 pounds, at $8.50 ; and 

 in car-loads, one dollar less per ton.
