WHAT ICE IS SOLD FOR.
The Season Too Near Over for ANY Further
Reductions.

Since the completion Of the plant of the
Crystal Ice Company there has been lDucn
speculation ~ TO how the ice market would
be affected and whether or not there would
be any further reduction IN prices than
have already been reported in the Dispatch.
This company, which will soon have an
average daily capacity of seventy tons,
has arranged It's schedule of prices as fol-
lows:
Family trade: Ticket system less than
100 pounds half q cent per pound, not less
than 10 pounds at one delivery; 100 pounds
at one delivery, 40 0cents.
Hotels. restaurants, soda-fountains, etc,
40 cents per 100 pounds. Speciai rates Tor
ton lots.
TIE OTBTn DEALERS.
A Dispofch reporter called upon several
dealers in northern ice Yesterday ana IN
quired If any efforts would be made TO
compete with these rates. IL was learned
that the present price is Is cents per hun
dred for quantities of less than 100 pounds,
and 50 cents per 100 and over IN larger
quantities. Earlier in the season the pre-
vailing prices were l cent per pound Tor
quantities less than 100 pounds and ~ cents
for 100 pounds and over.
The charges for northern zee are general
lv fixed 10y the dealers at the beginning OF
the season.
wHIcR Is THE BEST?
The reporter was told by one OF the gen
tlemen that Richmond had enjoyed much
lower rates this season than have pre-
vailed in other cities. He claimed that the
natural ice was the beat and that 1t would
not melt SO rapidly. Mr.. Wingfeld, Of the
Crystal lee Company, on the other hand.
maintains that artificial is necessarily
purer. as the water is freed by distillation
from all vegetable and animal matter;
As far as could be learned the supply OF
northern Ice is sufficient TO last through
tins season, which Is nearly over ana In
all probability no further steps Will be
taken.
The season for the sale Of the frozen sub
stance really lasts but three emonths-June,
July, and August though 1t Is OF course
sometimes protracted by warm spells IN
September.
