NO PROSPECT OF A RISE OR OF AN ICE FAMIXE— WHAT TH ERS SAY. There appears at present no likelihood of a carci yearand no pros- only one-half of hat was asked last year. A reporter of Tur lay made Inquiries among the leading as to the state of the trade. At the Independent Ice Company's office he informed that the company had so far fur- xed double the quantity of ice furnished up the same time last year: red on the Kennebec, and did rise in price. The season, owing to the hot weather, was pretty hard on men and horses; in order to protect. tliem extra men and horses had to be employed. The com- pany had been very fortunate in not losing any horses this year. “We think,” said Mr. “that if tlie people would ase a little less ic would b at_hel duri nish of ice ai her prices for iee at Lynn, Ma: by 10 cts. than we are getting here. “The price h to customers.” The snows of last winter, Mr. Church explained.hdd greatly increased the cost of cutting and stormg ice, so that although the harvest ost was about the same. earcity at all in the b se there are to load the vessels.

Not ‘tanding that the in- dications are that the dividends of this company will be smail on account of the trade of the pre- sent mn, unless the remainder of the season ‘xcessively warin and continue so till late in the fall, the supply will hold out, and there will be probably no rise in prices. “We have any quaitity of ice on the Kenne- said the manager of the Co-operative company: “enough to supply the for two years.” He did not expect_any rise in price or Searcity In the supply. The prices, owing to harp competition, were very low,but he thought the company could stand’ it. Ice sold at the wharf this year for 20 cents, while last year the price was 40 cents.

It will easily be seen that 24 men, each voting for 15 persons will cast, 360 votes. Now if there be, say 20 candidates, each might receive 18 yotes—20 by 18—360; or 15 might be elected with 16 yotes each—240, and at the same time 8 defeated with 15. votes each—120.
