THE RAISE IN ICE PRICES.
Dealers Give Notice in Other Citit


 Dealers Give Notice in Other Cities
 Also.
 New Haveners will not suffer alone this summer from the large increase In the price of ice just announced by deal CTS. The Hartford Post says:
 Ice is going to be higher this sum mer, just how much Is not known yet, or, at any rate, it is a secret at present that will not be announced until the dealers have their meeting this week, when the fate of the public will be de- cded.
 The ice dealers say that the winter just passed has been the worst .ney have experienced for ten years At that time the situation was even worse than it is now, for no ice at all was cut in thsd section, whereas there has been some cut this winter, although not nearly as much as should have been to fill the houses and keep the prices down. The result was that the dealers In order to fill their houses have bsen obliged to purchase ice in other placesss pay freight on 1t in order to get 1t to Hartford, and then haul it to the houses.
 This has naturally increased the ex- pense of harvesting and as the compa- nes are not in business for their health it is a foregone conclusion that the price will be raised for this season. The only point Is, assuming the crop next winter Is large and easily harvest ed, will the companies reduce the price again?
 As the matter stands now, every one Is short, or else the houses have been filled at increased expense. The com- panies in Hartford have not, however raised prices, although in other cities such action has been taken In Provi- dence the cheapest ice can be bought is six dollars a ton, and the price has also been raised in New Haven and Bridgeport, the advance over last year having gone into effect the 1st of April The New Haven prices for this season have been arranged thus:
 Markets and other business houses using more than 300 pounds at deliv cry 25 cents per 100 pounds; business houses using from 100 to 300 pounds at a delivery, 30 cents per 100 pounds; fam fly trade, 50 cents per 100 pounds; office pieces, not less than $1 week. These prices are for the present season, and the Hartford prices will probably be not unlike unto them.
