BANGOR, ME, December 22-At this

while the rivers are entirely free from

here. for they argue that If Names WIN
ter Is to be short, that of New YORK must
be stil shorter, so that there can be but
little ice in the Hudson. A failure of the
Hudson crop generally means brisk de-
mand for Maine ice az high prices but
this year there is "a surplus of about T.
10000 tons of ice In the Hudson and DO
900 tons in Maine, SO that in any event
there can scarcely be a repetition of the
famine OF 1880. Furthermore. the ice
trade rs now practically controlled by
one large corporation. the American Ice
Company which Is able 20 so regulate the
amount harvested. the distribution, and
the prices that violent fluctuations are
not likely to occur except under most un-
usual and unlooked-tor circumstances.
The corporation has many houses IN
Maine and in other States. and thus Is
able 10 yet a crop IN one section, even II
there should be no ice at all IN other 10
calities.
In times past. as in 1880, ice has sold
on the PenobscOt as high as 81 a ton
and on several occasions FOR y a TOM
but of late years the price has seldom
gone above 81 ton, and this year win

years has been about 20 cents ton
