The Ice CROP ALL RIGHT.-The ice men
say that the SO far open winter is not going to
interfere seriously with the harvesting of ice
and that there will be plenty of opportunity
before March is over for filling the fce-houses
with ice at least eight inches thick. TelegramS
received by the Knickerbocker company yes
terday report the river closed from Esopus to
Rhlnebeck, and work going on there and at
Coeyman's, Barren Island and Rogers Island,
opposite Catskill. A telegram from the com
pany'S agents at RondOut says that the ice
has stopped drifting and that the chances are
good. AT Billings and EavespOrt the cutters
are also at work, and at those places as well
as at New Baltimore the ice is eight inches
thick. If the ice gatherers had been willing
in the early part of the winter to 90 to work
upon such thin ice as they are now willing to
cut the crop. might have been stored some
time since; but their policy naturally is to
wait for thick ice, and they only take up with
the thin ice when the season has got well
along. At present the Knickerbocker COM
pany has stored scarcely One-quarter of its
usual winter stock, which amounts TO 100000
tons, but President McClay says that, although
they may not get all the company wants, there
is no doubt of harvesting tair erop.-(N Y.

FOREST CULTURE-The systematic efforts
at forest planting that several foreign govern
ments have entered upon, are the source of a
new trade from this country. An export OF
tablished. amounting to $4,000 worth per year.
The principal purchases are made for Ger
many, Austria, England, and the colonies in
demand exceeds the supply. The seeds of
the Oregon pine, known also as the yellow fir,
are most sought; the timber of that tree is as
been found sound after eighteen years use
for this purpose. The South sea colonies are
planting the California red wood tree exten-
siyely.
