Not only did Mr. Schoonmaker blame the weather for the poor buainess, but the newspapers for forcing the trust to keep its prices flown. According to the report, there was a Geficit of $182,008 ae against a surplus of $058,870 for the previous year, This shows a lose of $831,408 worth of busl- ness and a decrease in the treasury of $82,366. President Schoonmaker tried to cheer the stockholders up by announcing that ‘the company had carried over from last year 1,000,000 tone of ice, which when @iaposed of would liquidate the com- pany's debt. He said that the outlook for this summer was excellent. He also wald that there was a lange demand for foe at the present time.
