PROFITS OF ONE ICE DEALER.
Builds Up 100000 Plant From an
Investment of 5000.

NNCSthaCAht VI PoOOs
KANSAS CITY, July 1I.-Ex-State
Senator w. F. Lyons, president of the
American Ice Company. gave this bit
Of interesting testimony at the Ice
trust hearing today. After stating that
he had started in business in 1900 with
capital Of $500, that he cleared
$4,000 in the following year and that
he now owned a plant valued at $780,
600, Lyons said that prices ought to
be even higher than they were.
Lyons told OF having made two ad-
vances this season in the price of ice
sold to the peddlers.
How did you come to raise the price
on the first of April?"
Il heard that the Peoples Ice Com
pany was going to raise the price on
that date. so raised it,"
"Why?"
Well, am not in the ice business
as philanthropist. I wanted to get
all I could for my ice."
The first advance ranged from so
cents to 81 ton. Later he made an ad-
ditional raise when he heard that the
other companies intended doing so.
Lyons said he knew of no combina-
tion in the ice business.
But it is not necessary this year."
he added.
In reply to further questioning,
Lyons said;
'If had the making of the price of
ice it would be higher than IT is now.
The town trade today ought to be pay
ing several dollars a@fon. It is due to
the timidity of the ice men that the
price is not higher. I say timidity-I
won't say cowardice. but 1t is business
timidity and moral timidity."
Lyons said he thought the cost OF
manufacturing ice was about s1.75 to
S1.S5 a ton.

Paris. June 20 One of the directors
of the Bank OF Paris and The Neither

sue of the Pennsylvania railroad loan
in the French market, said today that
the transaction had proved notable
success. as the entire s50,000,0O0 had
been taken UP within the last three
days the banks showing willingness
and even eagerness to participate in
placing American securities of this
character. The loan thus far is con-
fined to banks, but within a month, it
is expected, the formalities of listing
the bonds on the bourse viii be COM
pleted and thereby permit their general
circulation. The Credit Lyonnaise and
the Bank of Paris and The Netherlands
took the initiative and are issuing a
letter to their allied banks offering the
bonds at par value
The bankers say one Of the chief
causes Of the success Of the loan is the
bad condition of Russian finances,
French investors preferring an Ameri-
can outlet for their surplus capital in
stead of investing further in Russians.
