ICE HIGHER IN SUBURBS.
Dealers Say Price VIII Go Up in
Manhattan.

Ice dealers have raised the price Of ice in
some of the suburbs of this city, notably in
outlying wards of Brooklyn, to 40 cents for 100
pounds delivered at homes This is five cents
dearer than last year, and 10 cents dearer than
two years ago In Manhattan the price is
still so cents for 100 pounds. but the dealers
are talking of raising the price to 35 cents next
month.
In April the Ice Trust tried to raise the whole
sale price from So ton to 50 30 ton. but the
retailers and middlemen are still buying it at
SO a ton. Independent companies manufactur-
ing artificial ice are still selling their product
at So a ton and their action has kept the price
below the figure that the trust tried to estab
lish.
ice is at present the cheapest commodity in
the market" one of the Independent dealers In
Manhattan said yesterday. The price of every
thing else has advanced, Even the price of
horse feed has gone up. and that that
it costs more to deliver Ice The cost Of living
has advanced, and drivers os ice wagons want
living wages the same as other people.
'oThe natural ice crop is short this year The
consuroutton of ice in the city is about four
million tons and the amount stored in icehouses
up the river is about two million tons Inc
natural ice is of poorer quality than usual and
TO sell ii in competition with artificial ice the
price has to be kept down. That is one reason
WHY the trust has not been able to put up the
wholesale price this year. The fact that there
are two million tons OF ice of inferior quality in
the icehouses however, keeps down the price of
artificial ice. 1t costs more TO manufacture ice
than it did last year, because coal is dearer
Most of the men in the business will say that
there is less money in the ice business this year
than usual. The dealers would like 10 raise the
price of ice but competition keeps down the
price"
L believe" another dealer said, that the
price of ice delivered to families VIII be 80 cents
for one hundred pounds next month The whole
sale price will be 50 90 a ton then, and 1t costs
So ton to deliver it TO families We have 70
figure too on an average loss Of 80 cents a ton
through shrinkage and failures to collect bills.
You can say, therefore. that the dealers Will
have to sell ice at more than 50 ton to make
anv profit Ice to families at 80 cents for one
hundred pounds means Sc ton. profit Of 81
hundred pounds would mean profit of 81 ton
TO the dealers
In some parts of the city vendors Who de-
liver their own ice which they get cheap for
cash and who do not have to pay the expense
of maintaining horses carts and drivers. sell ice
TO customers at p cents for one hundred pounds
They make a poor living out of the business. but
thev prevent the other dealers from raising the
nrfce high enough to make the business profit
able Marketrnen are still getting ice at liz
cents for one hundred prounds delivered In
office buildings, where ice must be delivered
within a few hours early in the mornings. the
ate is still So cents
