consumption are coming from. In fact
the outlook is very dubious, and much
worse than last winter, which was
thought bal enough. Ex Representative e
Walsh, when asked 10y the TINES re.
porter the other day where the ice foi
1890 was coming from. said he had Mt
the faintest idea. always before, when
the ice crop was short we could de
pend on Maine, but as yet there is no
more ice in Maine than there is in Rhode
Island. Last year was bad season for
ice, but the ponds were frozen over be-
fore this time and a thin crop harvested
in February. Oh, there is time yet, but
you can't tel" ;and the genial ice dealer
shook his head doubtfuly.
