The Ice Crop In Maine.

A dispatch from Bangor, Me-, says: The
ice shipping season of Maine is practically
over. and, contrary to expectation at the
first of the season and even up to a few
months ago. a considerable part of the
crop will be carried over to next spring
On the Penobscot there was .at the begin
ming Of the season a stock Of III 600 tons,
and Of this about 117.OOO tons has been
shipped. OF the remainder, 10000 tons is
good ice. while 24,OOO tons must be classed
as doubtful and subject to heavy waste.
The trust. or the American Ice Company,
now controls 115,000 tons Of the capacity
on this river, and all Of this was full when
the season opened. They have shipped
about $4,000 tons, and will probably carry
over the balance.
On the Kennebec about 100000 tons Of
the $4,000 tons stock has been shipped,
and the shipments are nearly over for this
year. The conditions on that river are not
encouraging. 1t is thought that the Amer
lean Ice Company will have opposition in
Maine this winter, representatives Of
various concerns in New York and Phila-
delphia have been in Maine looking up
sites for houses and getting options on ex-
listing houses. 1t Is also reported that
the American Ice Company will secure piers
in fBoston, with the view Of supplying that
city from the kennebec.

Exten.ion of a Pacific Line.

The Pacific Steam Navigation Company.
a British firm. and the South American
Company, Chilean concern, are contem-
plating an extension of their lines from
Central America to San Francisco, accord
ing to information received at the State
Department from United States Consul
Greene at Antofagasta. This service. says
the consul, which is now being rendered by
the Kosmos steamers, appears to be a sue
cess. The boats leave Valparaiso, call at
the principal coast ports to Guayaquil, and
go thence to Central American and North
Pacific ports, not calling at Panama. They
take and drop cargo on the trip north and
generally return with full loads south. For
merly Chilean wheat and flour had the
coast trade as far as Guayaquil, but the
Kosmos steamships, with their reasonable
rates, now bring considerable lots. not
only for coast supply, but for Bolivia. via
Mollendo and Antofagasta. This last traf-
fic has been favored by the suspension Of
Chilean railway service, owing to damage
during the winter. 49,
