THE ICE BUSINESS.
what she View York Companies say about
sne snort Crop and the Coming SUNG

One of the officials of the Knickerbocker
Ice Company. n. Y. which cuts about so 900
tons annually at Boothbay, was called upon
by reporter OF The Star recently, for infor
nation in regard to the ice crop, and the
| probable prices that will be charged consum-
ers during the coming summer The official
said IL am sorry to say that owing to the
mild weather that has prevailed for the last
three months and the early breaking up of
the Hudson river, we shall be obliged to get
a large share of our ice from Maine. Of course
the extra cost of transportation from such a
great distance will force US to ask the con-
sumers to pay higher prices than last year.
The increased rates will be perhaps so per
cent above last summers prices"
"What is the amount of the ice crop on the
Hudson for the winter just closed?" asked
| the reporter
swell, as near as l can judge, I should say
1t is not one-half as large as the average Our
! houses on the Hudson are not half filed and
private hafvesters, of whom we have usually
purchased, have very short supply this
year"
| 'Did you have any ice in your storehouses
left over from the previous season."
''Not more than 100000 tons. When we
began to cut ice last winter it was estimated
that we would need between 100, 900 and sOO.-
900 tons for the present season. Our princi-
pal houses have capacities as follows: At
Rondout, 10000 tons; Port Even, $4,000;
Eropus, $4,000; Rhinebeck, $4,000; West
Point, $4,000; Parker's, 10000; Flatbush,
10000. None Of the above are half filled. 1t
is popularity supposed that the ice companies
rejoice when the crop is short and prices
high. This is not the real fact in the case.
OF course, we can raise our rates to consum-
ers, but at the same time we are obliged to
get our supplies at additional cost So the
result is we invest more capital and do not
make as large percentage profit on our mon
ey. Another drawback when prices are high
is the fact that consumers do not purchase as
much"
| care you still cutting ice in Maine?'
| Eyes; and the harvest there will continue
a week or two longer, without doubt. and the
longer it continues the better it will be for
| the company and for the people,"
