8 REPORT ON THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE NORTHERN INDIA
9 The past year opened favourably with a stock balance of
10 554 lakhs of maunds, and had the season for manufacture
11 been favourable, this stock would have been maintained. But
12 the outturn of salt during the year was poor ; for the reasons
13 which I have given, sales were exceptionally heavy; and by
14 the end of the year the stock in hand had been reduced to little
15 more than 321 lakhs, less than a year’s supply. I trust that the
16 rainfall of the current year will be favourable, and in such case
17 a sufficiency of salt will be manufactured to meet all demands.

37 Ninety-five heaps of salt were cleared during the year.
38 These were estimated to contain maunds 40,59, 001-15-0. “The
39 actual outturn. amounted to maunds 40,58,896- 5-0, or a minus
40 difference of only maunds 105-10-0. Considering that the
41 whole of this salt was stored in the open and exposed to
42 climatic vicissitudes, this result is satisfactory.
43 38. The following statement shows the prices at which
44 Sambhar salt has been sold at the Lake from 1870-71 down to
45 the close of the year under report:—
