COARSE SALT FALLS.
Drop of ~ Per Ton on Account Of
Cuts by Competitors.

Coarse salt has dropped down to s.
per ton. the drop being made by the
Inland company because Of the action
Of competitors In initiating series Of
cuts. AS 1t costs $3.50 TO handle and
sack coarse salt the Inland people are
confident that there win be no further
attempt TO lower the price and that
the trust. so-called, will be left In pos
session Of the field. The demand for
coarse salt from this lake country Is
about 5000 tons per year and the In.
land company has 100000 tons stacked
up. Its competitors have about 5000
more. so that there Is no danger OF
there being a scarcity In the coarse salt
market for some years 10 come. Col.
Clayton remarked this morning Il was
being demonstrated that but one COM
pany could make any money in salt.
With several in the business, there
are no proats whatever.
