8(9) the Oudh and Rohilkand Rail-

9way ; (10) the Bengal and North-Western Railway. Decreases

10have occurred on five séctions or lines of railways, but the

11quantities involved are all insignificant in amount and the areas

12really out of the reach of Sambhar except in the case of the

13Sambhar to Ajmere section of the Rajputdna-Malwa Railway

14where the amount concerned is almost identically the same in

15both years.

1642, Open wagons continue to be supplied by the railway

17authorities at their discretion for the removal of salt from the

18lake. No loss or inconvenience has resulied from their use,

19Rolling stock of this description is supplied for the conveyance

20of salt only when covered stock is not available.

2143. Details are entered in the next statement showing

22the lease. the prices at which Sambhar salt has sold at the lake since

23870-71. There are now no auction sales of salt held on the

24lake edge, as practically the quality of the salt now manufac-

25tured differs so little that is would not be possible to sell ever

26the best kyar salt for an anna a maund mofe than pan or lake

27salt would secure. In other words, there is now no Sambhar

28salt of a low grade of quality produced. The trade would not

29touch it if there were, and the time is past whea anything but

30white, clean, well-grained salt can be offered to the trade. ‘hus

31ever since 1885-86, no salt has been sold at a higher price than

32eight annas a maund, and the price has been a fixed one, with-

33out selection or preference fees. In 1894-95 only two rates pre

34vailed. From the tst April to the 14th June 1894, the price

35was eight annas a maund, and on the Jatter date, when it was

36certain that a good crop had been stored, the price was reduced °

37to four annas a maund, at which rate it still stands :-—
