THE ICE TRADE.
Indianapolis Consumers Pay Lower
Rates than Any Other City.

It is stated that more ice is being disposed
of this summer in Indianapolis and towns
near by than In any previous summer for
years. Beside supplying Indianapolis. the
merchants here are sending ice to Shelby
vile, Anderson, Lafayette and number Of
other towns in the State. Despite the de-
mand for ice private consumers are sup
piled at lower rates than those in any other
city. At Cincinnati private consumers pay
so cents for each 100 pounds, which is also
the rate in Louisville, st. Louis and Chi
cago. Twenty-Five cents for 100 pounds is
paid by local consumers The five larger
local artificial plants are turning out about
240 tons of ice day. The smaller con-
Germs, such as Kingan & Co., the Gard
Der Abattoir and Barth & Browser are
turning out for the market from fifteen to
twenty tons a day. This is surplus above
what the packing houses named require for
their own use. Altogether. $50 tons of ice
is turned out daily at Indianapolis. In addi-
ton to this from fifteen to twenty carloads
of ice are shipped in here daily from the
icehouses at Laporte, Lake Maxinkuckee
and Warsaw. Local dealers say there is
more money in shipping ice 20 other cities
at So a ton than in selling it at Indianapolis
prices. The Holt artificial ice plant is now
turning out sixty tons of ice a day; the
Polar Ice Company, sixty tons; the Artifi-
cial Ice Cold Storage Company, fifty TONS
the American Brewery Company, fifty tons.
and Kingan & Co.'S surplus now amounts TO
about thirty tons a day. The Arthur Jordan
Company, above what is used at the estab-
lishment, sells twenty tons a day While
there are a large number of wagons run
ming bearing different names and 1t is said
that 80 per cent. of them are con-
trolled by some one OF the. ice companies
in the pool, it is remarkable as a curious
fact that with as strong a pool the ice
men have they have not been able to get
the prices they expected to for ice when the
pool was formed in the early spring. In
quiry shows that the claim of the local Ice
men that private consumers here get their
ice at lower prices than at any other i'm
portant Western city is true.

team and kept his hits well scattered and

while on the other hand, Scott was landed

fiercest in the seventh inning. when he went
up in the air. assisted by Hickey's tumble

fielding game. The first two runs scored
by St. Joseph were presented to them by
Motz, he making two errors in succession.
indianapolis scored it's first two runs on
MOTIFS single, a sacrifice by Nichon and a
home run by Kalioe inside the grounds to
deep center field Allen and Hickey went
out in order at third and second, respect
lively. The third and last run came after
Scott had been retired at first. Hogriever
went to first on Roat's error, and to second
on q blocked ball, stole third and came
home on a fielder's choice of Stewards hit,

Freight officials are somewhat surprised
over the improvement in business in the
week ending July %, a feeling having pre-
vailed that after ten months of unprece-
dentedly heavy traffic there would be lull
for a few weeks, but the train records show
that there were received and forwarded at
Indianapolis last week rs 042 cars, 1908 be-
ing loaded, an increase over the week end
ing July 16 of 1,701 loaded cars This is SAT
fewer loaded cars than were handled at
this point in the Corresponding week of 1897.
East-bound rates, however, were then more
demoralized than at any time in the his
tory Of the roads, grain being carried at u
cents per 100 pounds, while at present east
bound rates on grain and provisions are said
to be well maintained. The loaded car
movement at this point, however, last week
were 4,22S in excess of the corresponding
week of 1896, 2432 in excess of 1895 and 1913
in excess of the corresponding week of 1894.
This is mentioned to show that the present
volume of traffic is handsomely above the
average of past years in July. The increase
is shared by the Panhandle, the Vandalia,
and the Big Four, and the north-and-south
lines make a favorable exhibit for mid
summer. The increase in east-bound bust
ness was not in &. marked measure in grain,
but in shipments of provisions, dressed
meats, live stock, flour and cerealine prod
ucts, and the shipments east of lumber,
veneering and hides are heavy for this sea-
son of the year. West-bound there was no
material increase in tonnage over the pre-
ceding week. Shipments of sugars are I'M
usually heavy. and the dry goods houses
are receiving heavy consignments. North
and-south lines are doing an unusually
heavy business which is largely increased
by the carrying of army supplies south
ward. The shipments of Southern products
to Northern markets are remarkably heavy,
reaching trainloads daily and Northern car
works are still using immense quantities of
Southern pine and hard woods. In local bus
mess the improvement is the most marked;
not in years have the shipments of local
manufactures been as heavy in July as this
year. The commission merchants have done
more shipping than III any season for some
years. The most remarkable Improvement
in business which benefits the Ia lways is
with the packing houses and stock yards,
the business with both industries being
largely In excess of any former year. A good
deal of material is being received for street
improvements, and on bulk tracks and
sWltches OF the various industries there is
unusual activity for this season of the year
Below is given the car movement for the
week ending July % and for the correspond
Ing weeks of 1897 and 1896:

o. d. Ashley, president of the Wabash
Railway Company has returned East after
an extended Western trip, and in conversa-
ton as to the condition of the property
said: Extensive Improvements are being
conducted on the property. new rolling stock
and new box cars are being provided and
eighty-pound rails laid. Every dollar that
is being spent goes to the expense account,
as the company has no construction ac-
count. The road is in fine physical condi-
ton. 1t will be decided at the annual meet
ing in September regarding the construction
of about twenty-five to thirty miles of road
to complete the system and shorten the line.
If authorized the plan will not add any
thing to the fixed charges, but will do away
with some rentals that now have to be paid.
Rates in the territory of che Wabash are
somewhat disturbed, but ii is fair To assume
that the efforts that are now being made
VIII rectify the situation The Buffalo ex-
tension is doing we'll. The road is earning
an average of about $4,000 a week there and
expect TO see considerable increase All in
dications point TO the division earning for
the Wabash considerably more than the
amount of rentals. A rough estimate would
make the net earnings of the Wabash for
the year show an increase over the previous
year of about $450,000.

THE CORBETT-M'COY FIGHT.
Probably No Effort VIII Be Made to
Prevent 1t.

BUFFALO, N. Y, July A.-When asked
yesterday what he intended to do should
an attempt be made to bring off the Cor
bett-McCoy fight in Erie county, Sheriff
Killgallon said "At present 1 can do
nothing. The fight is long way off and
there is plenty of time in which to act.
1t is too early in the game to do anything.
1 am not so sure that the proposed contest
will be illegal AS soon as | see 1t ad-
vertised in the newspapers / will call the
matter to the attention of the district at
torney.'
District Attorney Kenefick said that he did
not know anything about the proposed
fight. The sheriff is the executive officer
of the county and until he makes some COM
plant the district attorney is powerless.
Mr.. Kenetiek assures the public that the
law will be maintained.
