Inquiry among the granite dealers and
business men regarding the outlook for
business in Barre during the coming winter
demonstrates the fact that, while the pros
pect for lively business is not so encour-
aging as 1t might be, yet all are hopeful,
and the hard times in Barre" about which
so many predictions have been made, exist
largely in the imagination of few people.
The granite dealers paid their men in cur
rency the first OF September, and, AS one
bank paid ont over 100000 for pay rolls,
this naturally put a large amount of money
in circulation. The general impression in
Barre seems to he that the worst is over, and
that business will be up to the average dur
ing the fall and winter.
