30 The Delhi-Umballa-Kulka and the Oudh and Robilkhand
31 Railways are the only lines that carried less salt than in 1894-95.
32 On the latter line the salt consigned was less by maunds 6,410.
33 The North-Western Railway carried maunds 38,88,691, the
34 Rewari-Ferozepur maunds 8,748, the East Indian maunds 9,422
35 the Bengal and North-West maunds 415, and the Indian Mid-
36 land maunds 150 more. ‘The falling oft in the bookings to the
37 Delhi-Umballa-Kalka line is due to salt for Umballa city having
38 been sent round to the Dhulkot station last year, whereas now
39 it is consigned to the Umballa city station on the North- Western
40 Railway. The bookings direct to places in Kashmir amounted
41 to maunds 96,025 during 1895-96 against maunds 33,008 in
42 1894-95, and of the former quantity maunds 95,390 were sent to
43 the Tawi station under the through-traffic system. The large
44 increase apparent in the following comparative figures of direct
45 bookings to places within the British border, which export to
46 Kashmir, besides supplying local demand, also goes to show
47 that the quantity sent into Kashmir was unusually large :—
