fair. MS rule 1t Is probable that returns
are fully to the average. Manufacturers
In all departments continue very busy
with prospects good for the Immediate
future. Daily interests are extensive and
profitable. I,umbermen engaged in cut
ting native timber report a very active
business. the supply of dry lumber being
largely exhausted. The marble and slate
business taxes tho capacity of the quar-
ries and mills to fill orders and the
granite sheds find an active market for
their products.
burlington reports prosperous condi-
tons In nearly all lines, considerable
building is in progress including a sub
stantal building for temporary post Of
nce, library building, a large block 10y
local plumbing and stove concern, and
a large block by the electric light com
pany, the business blocks TO be occupied
by the owners. Rutland reports manu-
featuring business good. retail trade and
collections as usual The creamery sup
ply house has recently increased its plant
considerably, and the store buildings on
Main St. which were damaged by fire
few months since have been rebuilt
and will soon be occupied. Barre reports
the granite business as good collections
fair. During the early part of the sea-
son the work in the sheds was quiet,
nut increased activity is now noted.
The leading manufacturing industries
Mt Montpelier are successful and indica-
tons point TO good business during the
fall, a number of retail stores suffered
from FIRE during the early part of the
week. The creamery at st. Adams s
busy and other manufacturing business
is good: retail trade and collections good
Tor the season of year. business in all
lines is good at Brattleboro, one of the
overall companies Is located in a new
factory; retail trade is a little quiet,
collections fair. Bellows Falls reports
business in all lines good, although some
OF the paper mills are shut down for a
snort time to make repairs. St. Johns
bury reports tho scale works are very
bus and to large extent the business
barometer Of the town is gagged by the
activity of this concern. Business in gem
oral is good in Bennington, the manu-
featuring interests arc well employed
The employment in the knitting and cot
ton mills and in other industries here
Yields large returns which greatly benefit
the store keepers. Wilmington reports
every manufacturing interest in this soc.
ton is running to its full capacity The
lumber at this time exceeds former wears
While the months of July and August are
usually quiet, this year has proven an
exception as regards the volume of busi-

probably secure fair harvest this year
