A considerable tatiantity fff salt, however, is sold in sacks, especially to farmers rt track being supposed to contain 206 lbs. But the purchaser had no means of knowing how much he was buying, unless he bought by weight, and had the article *melted. The anieridmept of 11Ir Holmect requires that the gross %%eight of salt sold in sacks, whether favor ted Or otherwise, shall be branded thereon, thus guaranteeing purchasers it specified amount. It tnight be added that this amendment to the law has the full approval and sanction of salt roanufacturers in 'Western Ontario, who are anxious to Protect the public against possible frauds and it has been framed with it view to causing import ed salt, princizally __known as rsiverpool, to be bran ed. our Canadian produet 'ravine always been marked with the pepper weights, TWO -CENT STAISIP BOoltS,--- Hon Mulock has again demonatt at- edlis regard for the convenience of the public by causing the issuance of What will be 'known as "two -cont stamp books."
