Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 23.--Owing to a.
dearth of freight cars, Chicago yester-
day faced shortage in ice which/ac-
cording to the larger dealers. may be
prevalent throughout the remainder
OF the summer and probably, will be-
come more severe. 1t was estimated by
the dealers that less than a fifth OF
