cunning on the river as the cargoes from that
c,ate are frequently delayed. We can depend
unoY the prompt arrival Of the barges, as they
.re lowed while the outside supply comes in
.auine vessels which are subject to wind and
vaather but In some instances this season we
have had the vessels towed from Maine directly

"The Maine ice is technically known in the

ravs from 1000 to 10000 tons annually

the smaller ice companies. who are personally
interested IN the ice product Of that State. The
careoes vary from 800 to 1000 tons each. and
there Is much waste from the breaking ana
melting Of the ice The larger the cargo the
mailer the relative loss from melting. A great
sea depends upon the manner IN wnlch the
rareoes are slowed and dunnaged. On TINS ac>
count the waste from melting ranges from ~
70 go and in some cases 20 per cent. the aver
age waste being fully 33 IL per cent Inc

good Green boughs. which are also used are
rot so good Sometimes the Ice is dumped INTO
the vessels without any dunnage. and decSloads
81 lumber are carried for protection against the
sun In these the waste Is very great
The waste from melting on our barges ranges
from 90 10 so per cent trip.
