Saltpetre is also an article of State monopoly, but ischiefly manufactured by private individuals, who arebound to deliver their productions to the State. Therefining, on the contrary, is principally provided for bythe State itself. In 1847, the quantity of saltpetre pro-duced amounted to 21,600 cwt. This was chiefly appliedto the manufacture of gunpowder, and also to other pur-poses. The progress of tills trade, however, is but incon-siderable.
Soda and potash are produced in Hungary in largequantities. The crystallized soda found on the soil isestimated at 30,000 cwt. annually, and the entire pro-duction of soda in Hungary , at 40,600 cwt., whereofabout 10,400 cwt. are distributed over the other provinces.In these last, altogether, tlie‘ same quantity is produced asis raised in Hungary alone; and there is to be addedthereto the amount of the excess of imports (56,000 cwt.),over exports (55,000 cwt.), being 1,000 cwt.
Of potash about 350,000 cwt. are produced, and of thisquantity 200,000 cwt. in Hungary , the remainder chieflyin Galicia . The production not only covers the wholedemand for home consumption, but leaves a considerableexcess for export. Thus, in the year 1847, the imports ofpotash amounted to 11,900 cwt., whereas the exports were41,900 cwt.]

Chemical productions, including succinic acid, tartaricacid, sesqui-oxide of chromium, sesqui-oxide of uranium,and mercurial compounds.
[In the manufacture of salts and acids for dyeing, andother purposes, considerable progress is being rapidlymade. The fortunate results that have rewrarded theactivity of Bohemia in the expansion and improvement ofchemical manufactures, which had their commencementin its territory, have excited the other provinces of themonarchy to follow her example in similar undertakings.Lower Austria already occupies a respectable place. InUpper Austria, Styria, the Tyrol, and Lombardy , thefact of this progress is not to be denied; but Carinlhiapossesses the most important manufacture of white lead,being favoured by nature with abimdant ores of excellentpure lead.]

[The lead mines of Carinthia supply a most pure andvaluable description of lead, and are extensively worked,not merely to meet the home demand for that metal, butto supply the staple of a considerable foreign trade whichhas sprung up. Thus, whilst during a period of fiveyears, from 1843 to 1847, the average yearly imports oflead ore amounted to 142 cwt., and those of raw leadto 22 cwt., and of cast and rolled lead to 26 cwt., theexports during the same interval averaged, respectively,6,182 cud., 2,672 cwt., and 1,288 cwt. The imports oflitharge w r ere inconsiderable, and the exports amountedto 1,800 cwt.]
