stating that Kennebec ice of the best quality
could be bought for 81, placed free on board
of vessels. while freight was guaranteed at
80 cents per ton. Several of the ice dealers
in this section have kept back much of their
harvest of last winter, thinking that higher
price would be offered. On this account
several of the local merchants are feeling
pretty blue now. while those that have dis
posed of their ice are congratulating them
selves. At present there is only one vessel
loading ice in the river, and many of them
that have come here for that purpose have
returned to New York and Philadelphia

enough to pay for the labor of loading.
