Excerpt from A History of the Salt Union

The Salt Union 'was formed in October, 1888, but the coming of the combination was foreshadowed in January of that year by the publication of the following paragraph in Falk's Salt Trade Circular The salt trade is at the most deadly crisis. Implacable competition among a small section of the largest makers has brought prices below all records, salt being freely offered at 50 per cent. Below cost. All the large chemical contracts for 1888 have been taken at ruinous prices. Nor has there been any more extensive demand for the article below cost. The total export shown on annexed list proves a considerable decrease on the average. The principle of association has been violated again, and with more disastrous results than ever yet known. Nothing but a new form of general consolidation can resuscitate the trade.
