Bradstreet' Vermont Report.

AS reported to Bradstreets, the con-
tinued open weather has enabled the
farmers to do considerable fall plough
ing, and work in this line and in COM
pleting harvesting occupies their atten-
ton. Reports concerning manufactur-
ing business are quite favorable and in
dictate perhaps a trife more activity,
although there is no great rush among
the manufacturers at present. Cream
cry and lumber operations are satisfac-
slate is curtailed. Collections are fair
The retail dealers are beginning to feel
the influence of holiday trade. but colder
weather will stimulate business. Labor
is well employed, good wages are re-
ceived and prospects are favorable both
among the workmen and those who en-
ploy labor.
Burlington reports general business
satisfactory; mills are running well,
labor is well employed, collections fair.
The jobbing trade is of usual volume,
while the retail trade is increasing as the
holidays approach.
The machine shops at Rutland are
busy, the marble mill employs large
force, and the railroad interests con-
tribute to a considerable extent to the
city's prosperity. Retail trade and col
| lections as usual.
The quarries in Barre are not fully
occupied as the improved methods they
with more expedition than formerly,
and, in addition, the demand for rough
stock from the sheds is not very active.
There is no particular complaint, how
ever, as the aggregate of business done
is still very large and prospects are good
for increased activity soon; retail trade
good, collections fair.
The manufacturers are moderately
busy at Montpelier, retail trade is i'm
proving, collections as usual.
In st. Adams the garment factory is
rushed with orders, the railroad inter
ests are employing a large force, retail
trade good, collections fair.
The scale works at st. Johnsbury are

not employ as many men now as they dc
at some seasons. General business con

In Bennington the knitting mills are
busy, some are running nights. Other
manufacturers are very busy, retail
trade fair, collections good.
The slate business at Poultney is good
but the demand for roofing slate is les.
active, although quarry operators have
not generally accumulated any consider
able stock. A large force of workmer
are employed, the amount paid in wage:
is large resulting in free circulation
among the stores, collections satisfac'

says the Cheyenne Leader. From
present appearances it will be the
most representative body and the
most popular gathering ever assem-
bled in the state. Governor Richards
is taking deep interest in the forth
coming meeting, and, being chairman
of the executive committee, he is in
close touch with all that is going on to
make the convention successful.
In speaking of the prospects. the
governor said to a Leader represent
alive on Wednesday morning:
Yes, the industrial convention will,
without doubt, be an event worthy ut
our prosperous commonwealth, that
is, there is every indication that there
will come to Cheyenne as delegates
on that occasion a large number of
the prominent men of Wyoming.
These men are earnest and they real
ize that they hold in their hands the
destiny of our young and growing
state. The importance of the devel-
|opment of our resources are fully ap-
pIeciated by this class, and through
this convention much good will be &C.
complished for the people of Wyom-
ing.
The meeting that was held in Lar
annie last year was of great value to
all our counties in the way of adver-
Using the undeveloped resources of
these localities, and it is quite fair to
presume that the second meeting will
be of even more value. The convrn-
ton idea is certainly a good way to
keep our mineral and agricultural op-
portunities before the world, and for
that reason we should all do our part
to make this public gathering u suc

names of 265 delegates who have been
appointed to represent the different

SUNDAY
CLOSING LAW WILL BE EN-
FORCED BY CITY AND coUN-
TYoFFIcIALs TOMORROW.
Saloons Expected to Close at Mid
night Tonight, Under City Or
Ago, and Stores to Close by Order
of County Attorney Gibson.
dinance Passed More Than Year

The indications today are that the
Sunday closing laws of the state and
city will be enforced tomorrow, and
if one wants a drink or a cigar on
Sunday he should provide it today or
tonight.
More than a year ago the city coun-
eli passed an ordinance to close the
saloons at midnight on Saturday, and
not allow them to reopen unit mid
night of Sunday, twenty-four hours
later. On Of the effect of the
provisions of the new Law On the re-
tail liquor licenses already ISSUED the
ordinance was not to take effect until
the lapse of one year. Its provisions,
therefore, became in effect on the 21st,
tomorrow being the first Sunday since
that date.
Last Monday County and Prosecut-
ing Attorney Gibson announced
through The Republican thst he had
sent the sheriff to notify alt business
men in the city hat he would see to
the enforcement of the state law pro-
hibiting the selling of certain articles
on Sunday, practically closing nearly
all the places of business in the city.
AS far as can be learned today, both
the city and state laws will be OBJ
served tomorrow and the town will
practically be out of commission" un-
til Monday. The business men will
obey the MANDATES Of the offers:
Councilman anS Acting Mayor
Gates stated this morning that it was
the intention of the police department
of the city to enforce the provisions OF
the saloon closing ordinance. Marshal
| Sterling had been instructed to see to
the matter. The saloon men of the
city seem to be willing to observe the
law if all are treated alike and take
kindly to the proposition to get a day
of rest.
Some of the business men have
taken the trouble to notify their GUS
toners that they shall observe the law
and to provide for the morrow. The
result will be watched with some in
terest.
It is said a petition is being circu-
lated here today asking the state leg
islature to amend the Sunday closing
law so as to remove some of the feat
ures a number of merchants believe to
be too harsh to be put into operation
here.
