.' TO DEALERS IN AND CONSUMERS OF 



ONONDAGA SALT IN THE STATE OF NEW YOEK. 



Office of tmk Salt Co., of Onondaga, | 

 Syracuse, November 6W, 1862. j 



THE closing of the Mississippi River by the Rebellion, has 

 temporarily cut off a large supply of Foreign Salt from the 

 Western States, and correspondingly increased the demand lor 

 our Salt in that direction. To supply this demand the Company 

 has increased the amount manufactured this season, to the full 

 extent of the supply of brine. The usual prices were maintained 

 during the spring and summer months, and hopes were enter- 

 tained that a full supply of Salt would be produced. About the 

 first of October, however, it became evident that the demand at 

 the West would so far exceed the supply, as to advance prices 

 entirely beyond the control of the Company, and we have been 

 compelled to advance our prices for Salt to correspond some- 

 what to its value, in the market. We have, throughout the sea- 

 son, maintained stringent measures to prevent its getting into the 

 hands of parties for speculation, and have used our utmost efforts 

 to furnish it as directly and as cheaply as possible to the con- 

 sumer. 



The natural course of trade, had there been no organization 

 controlling the distribution- of our Salt, would have sent it to the 

 highest markets, and the consumer in this State would have been 

 compelled to pay prices corresponding with its value for the 

 West. The Company, taking into consideration its relations to 

 Dealers and Consumers of our Salt in this State, decided to pro- 

 vide for them, against the advancing prices, by a drawback cor- 

 responding with the advance in the regular list price. In our 

 Circular, da ed October 0th, we assured the Dealers and Con- 

 sumers in this Slate, that the drawback would be adjusted in ac- 

 cordance with our regular List Prices, so as not to increase the 

 net cost, for the State Consumption, to over $1.50 per brl. for 1 ine 

 Salt, and in proportion for the other kinds, at the Works. Since this 

 policy was adopted, the cost of Fuel, Barrels and Labor lias ad- 

 vanced to such an extent that the State Trade is now being sup- 

 plied at very nearly the cost of production. 



From the foregoing facts it must be apparent to every one that 

 the drawback system hai been adopted solely for the benefit of 

 Consumers in this State; and that the Company, to protect itself 

 from loss beyond the largo sum which the drawback will neces- 

 sarily and legitimately amount to, must require that some trouble 

 Mid responsibility shall be assumed by Dealers who supply the 

 State demand. We trust, therefore, that the following general 

 provisions will be cheerfully assented to: 



Fii'.st— Parties purchasing Salt for State Consumption will pay, 

 or assume to pay, for the same at the regular List Prices. 



Second — The Company gives to the purchaser a stipulation 

 agreeing to pay or refund the amount of the drawback, upon 

 proper proof that the Salt has been sold or used for consumption 

 in this State, and will not be removed therefrom ; and that the 

 benefit of the drawback has been given to the consumer ; that is 

 to say, that the Dealer has sold to the Consumer at a price giving 

 him a fa r profit or commission on its cost, taking the drawback 

 into account; it being understood that in cases where the Dealer 

 receives more than such fair prices from the Consumer, the ex- 

 cess will be deducted from the drawback. 



Third — The Dealers claiming drawback, will furnish an ac- 

 count of the sale and disposition of each invoice of Salt pur- 

 chased, stating to whom the same was sold and delivered, and at 

 what price, verified by affidavit— the proper forms for which are 

 furnished by the Company. 



All parties interested in Salt for State Consumption, are as- 

 sured that the Company will retain a full supply for that purpose. 



When circumstances seem to require it, Dealers, if they so 

 choose, will be made Agents for the Companv.
