A SALT TRUST.
National Salt Company Said to Have
Almost Absolute Control of the
COuntry's Product.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 6.-The Free
Press says: The National Salt COM
pany, of New Jersey, capitalized at S12,-
100000, has secured control of the salt
industry of this state, and now has al
most absolute control of the salt prod
uct of the entire country. Seventy per
cent. of the Michigan salt manufacture
ers belonged to the Michigan Salt as
ISOLATION, the output of which the trust
is purchasing outright. The plants
which did not belong to the association
were dealt with separately, and are be-
ing leased by the trust for a period of
five years. These blocks throughout
the state which it is not necessary to
operate are being closed temporarily,
perhaps permanently. The outside"
plants still retain the right to manu-
facture what is called patent medi-
cine" salt, viz: A high grade table
product, with which the trust is not in
terested. 1t is considered likely that
the National Salt company will not
place manager in this state, but will
handle the product directly through its
agents. Nothing is known of the prices
paid by the combination for the Michi-
gan plants.

The award of the tribunal, briefly
summarized, means that of the 10000
square miles claimed by Venezuela that
country obtains only 100 square mills,
formed partly of the marsh land near

interior, while Great Britain retains
