SALT WORKS AT SALIVA.

SALT WORKS Az SALiNA.
The Onondaga salt exceeds in puri-
" the finest importations from abroad
Welding on an average upwards OF
eeo. 1000 tbs OF the muriafe OF Soda.
These extensive works are capable
of producing annually i,7so,ooo bush.
els of fine salt, and 10000 bushels OF
coarse, making an aggregate OF 2,ooo,-
600. A revenue was derived to the
state of the last year of S93,553,62 !;
and for the two first quarters OF the
nresent year, it amounts to 1885, 4o,35,
more than double the amount for the
same term in 1922. The hllief is that
at no distant period the revenue Will
exceed three times its present amount.
| With view of increasing the guam
tity. and to enable the manufacturers to
sustain competition inithe Newly ork
market, with foreign importations, the
commissioners propose premium oil
three cents bushel for the term OF five
years, on all quantities not less than
1000 bushels for the term OF hive years,
brought either to this city or its wa
tors. Long Island, New-Jersey, or Con-
necticut. The average price OF inn
norted salt in the New-York market is
estimated at 80 cents, while that from
Onondaga, reckoning the expense OF
manufacture at Isl cents, duties l2a,
TRANSPORTATION and commission at 10
cannot be afforded at less than IS cents
a bushel. An opinion is expressed,
that a premium would have the effect
to augment this revenue OF the state de-
rived from this source, by increasing
the quantity manufactured.
The American Flannel Manufactu-
ring Company Of Massachusetts, are
producing flannels which are said to
be equal in all respects, if not superior,
to any made in Europe. They are fin
ished in superior style, and the CO.
lors, which are crimson, scarlet, green
anil yellow, are warranted to be lasting.
This mandatory is the largest Of the
kind in the United States, and the stock
is principally owned by few capital
lists of Boston, who were the original
proprietors, and whose object, it is
said, has been, from the commence
ment, not so much immediate gain, as
the formation of a respectable estab-
lishment, that will be creditable in
national point Of view, and secure to
themselves permanent * safe invest
ment Of their capital Bait. timer
