INCREASE IN THE DEMAND FOR ICE

EXTRA BARGE5 CARRYING THE SUPPLY TO THE
CITY-sOMF OF IT COMING FROM MAINE.
Concerning the ice supply. n prominent officer OF
the Consolidated Ice Company at It's main Offices
No. 10 West Twenty-third-st.. said TO Tribune
reporter yesterday afternoons "The demand for
ice has naturally beer largely increased by the
long spell OF hot weather. but we have managed to
keep up with II and expect to continue TO do so
We have put on good MAN. extra bargcs to
bring Ice here from houses along the Hudson
River. and are now running about l20, which carry
cargoos ranging from $50 to loo tons each the
average being about 90 tons. A full ice crop in
this State is abou, 100000 tons. but this year the
crop was fully onc-third or about 1000 90 tons
short. To offset this deficiency We hav. been re-
ceiving cargocs of ice almost DAILY from Maine
We Cannot depend entirely on that of supply
in emergency like this however because the
ice wanted has TO be delivered quickly.
We employ I'm ;hs city from 800 to 5000 mon
and from l.S0 to 200 horses The heat has ser-
OIsly affected both our men and horses
The greatest Increase In the demand for ice
caused by such extremely hot weather. IS from the
vault trade, that Is. from packing houses Some
Of the smaller ice dealers I'm times Ike this run
out Of stock ana come to for more. AS we shall
continue TO receive ice from Maine, the demand
upon our houses along the Hudson will probably
soon be relieved. but. with continued hot
weather. do not an icpate increase of prices
unless we should meet with some disaster"

MANY PEOPLE LEAVE THE CITY.

One Of the hottest places In this hot city yester-
day was the yard lying just outside Of the Grand
Central station Beneath the great arch OF the
station the air was sitting and the gloom where
the sun was shut out seemed TO tester and burn
Outside In tho yard the rails cleaned and the Gin
ders seemed 10 be alive with fire. while the pulling
and painting engines only intensified the heat The
yerdmen said that they had never suffered in
years and all day they clune to what little shade
they could get within the shadow cast by a car. or
surrounded the tank of ice water that had been
placed alongside OF the switchhouses.
Despite the heat there was a constant crush with
In the station. Perspring humanity struggled TO
get through the gates and into the trains which
stood ready to pull out Of the station and seemed
to bear promise of fields and running brooks,
shade trees and cooling breezes The traffic 10 the
