The people are saying they will send away for ice if the price in maintained and the dealers say they are not concerned about that as long as they have the tremen dous business that is now pouring in on them. “Tho fact is,” said a denier ton Journal reporter, “the price hu» really not been increased. Wo have simply regulated the price to a proper uniformity and are not getting any more than we former ly did.” It seems that ice has been sold from tho wagons at twenty cents a hundred, a lower price than was charged those who bought tickets- The uinmifncturoraclaim that this was so low that it hardy paid the expenses for delivoray. They also claim that it was dificult to kcup checks on the men in the wagons where it was sold that way. They have now agreed on u schedule of prices, so their custo-j. mers niuy nil ho treated ufijto^' jj" *io Rooking too long at littl fects blinds the eyes to big virtues at the same time they may n profit on ice.
