In New York considerable alarm 1s felt, and the papers of that city are freely discussing the subject, some claiming that there ts dancer for such famine, and others denying it. It is stated that the ice crop made in New York ts already exhausted, and that there ts not more than 50.000 tons of ice in Maine that 1s not contracted for. In New York the prices are: To retall dealers, $10 per ton; venders and grocers, $12 P=r ton; ice delivered to butchers, restaurants, xc. $14 per ton, and family trade, $1 per hun- dred. At this date last year the rates were 30 8 per hundred and $1.50 per ton. To keep the readers of Tug Stak posted in re- lation to this subject, as !t appears in this city, a reporter has been looking over the situation. Passing the wholesale butter warehouse of Messrs. Oyster & Co., corner of 9th street and Pennsylvania avenue, this morning, an inquiry of these merchants drew from them the fact that their mammoth ice boxes were to be sip- plied by one of our ice compantes on a verbal contract of 40 cents per hundred by the season. delivered at the wharf, but that the company put the price upto 50 cents on them early in tue season. They don’t consider that the; hi been well treated by the fc: meu. Tae Messrs. Oyster ere large consumes, re quiring many hundred pounds per week for | their business. Several dealers in fish and meat. being questioned all told similar stories. Quite a number of butchers to tuls city have factliie. for harvesting thelr own supplies, but the ice crop failing last winter, very little wa3 saved, and nearly every trade or occupation requiring the use of ice has to depend this season on northern fee; and our fee companies have had flush times of {f. In view of the great advan- Lage the fce men have held over the consumers the current season, it is but just to the ice com- panics to state that in very few cases have they exercised undue or arbitrary power over their customers, It is true that ice has beenselling at high rates, and while some claim that the ice dealers have combined to keep up the prices on the pretext of an anticipated ice famine, others admit that the supply ts limited. On one point all agree, that there was aa uousually Small ice crop in this immediate vicinity, and that the high rates have greatly tnconventenced merchants, who require large quantities tn thefr business. The butchers. fish dealers and ice cream dealers are among the sufferers. The “beer dealers are also of the same class, and many small consumers. poor farailies and others compelled to regard ice as a luxury rather mn @ Lecescity, And give up its use altogether for the time being. = Meeting with Mr. C. B. Church, of the Inde- Pendent Ice company, to-day, the Srak re- notibg bis compkicent countenance, “How about the present state of the Ice in this Digerict?” Mr. Church:—* Very much thesame as when We had that talkin July on the Ice question. We've as much as we can do to supmy the wants of our customers. s—** Will you have enough ice to hold out ough the season?” —“<That depends on how long the present heated terra continues. We begin to see the bottom of our pile of tee, and It 1s going rapidly. When we reach the bottem we will have to step, oF pay a much larger sum for it than we wow get for curown.” Sta: “Then you really have fears that you unable to carry your District customers through the season?”” ——“}f the season {s an ordinary one tn length we hope to be able to get through. I do not believe in giving our citizens unnecessary slarm. What we have in store in Maine we shail retain for our District consumption, and 1 think it will be sufficient.” Siar:—“Have you raised the price on consum- ers in this District?” Fs merk ‘Not at all. We have kept good fatth them, as we promised. In selling to tran- sient customers we have to charge an as the market price advances on the Dee river. To our small consumers and housekeep- ers ho advance has been made, notwitustanding the rise in every city throughout the country.” ‘Star:— How many tons of ice 1s required thi Seuson to supply the demands in this District: C.:—“i should say from 120,000 to 125,000 tons. The demand ts growing every year, and the In- dependent company has been forced this season to make large outlays In extending tts works on the Kennebec, in the way of store rooms and oa in order to keep pace with the demans “In stating the number of tons con- Star. sumed here, do you mean that your company has furnished that quantity of ice here?” Cz I mean that as an approximate quantty all the ice companies together have turnished this season.” Star :—How many tons of Ice have you in store in Maine at this time 2” C.:—Between 7,000 and S,000 tons, which will carry us through, I think. We are receiving 1 every week, and have just discharged a cargo at our wharves of 1,214 tons froma Very large schooner. 'S not that a large cargo?” far — It is; but ice shippers are finding it great economy to have large transports.” Sla. “* Why so?” We find that the wastage by melting 1s much less when shipped in large vessels than 1n smallones. Where it used to be from 35 t 50 per cent wastage, we have so improved in ship- ping and handling It, as to reduce to from 20 10 2 percent. This you see makes a great differ- ence, and We can now float as large vessels In our harbor as can be done in any harbor tn the United States, and just here you can see the advantage in having our river channel kep: open by dredging.
