Auditor Graham Turns Down $40
Charge for Furnishing Supreme
Court Room.
BRATILEB0RO HALL RENTED
sheriff Acted on Advice ot Attorney
General and states Attorney and
spared No Expcnsc-Auditcr
Says County Should Pay
the Expense.

Bratteboro, Dec. 27-iToracc +. Gra-
ham, the state auditor. who is here on
his semi-annual visit settling bills against
the state with the county clerk, justices
and shcriffs, refused this afternoon TO
pay the cost of rent of hall. lease of fur
niture, etc, Incurred at the last session
OF the Vermont Supreme Court, held here
In November. The bill amounts to $40.
Sheriff A. II. Thompson secured Grange
hall and procured suitable furniture for
the use of the members of the bar and
judges OF the court. This was done at
the direction of Acknowledgement c. c.
Fits and States Attorney r. G. Bacon.
In order that the supreme court should
he we'll pleased with its first visit 20
Brattlcboro the hall was we'll furnished
and no expense was spared for necessary
convenienccs That nothing should be
overlooked, Supreme Court Judge James
VI. TYLER of Brattleboro suggested what
was necessary for the sheriff to procure.
To-day the bills were to he paid by the
sheriff but to his great surprise Mr.. Ora
ham refused to hand over the desired
check. In his opinion, the state treasury
is not the source from which the pay
ment of Expenses incurred at the sessions
Of the supreme court should be paid. He
refers the matter to the county judges
saving the county, he believes. where the
court is held should foot the bill. At any
rate he decided to hold the bill over pend
ing light on the matter.
The question IS Il now one coming from
the change IN plans of special sessions
Of the supreme court. Hitherto Montpel-
Ter was the home of the court, but since
the new judiciary act was passed the
court meets in Rutland, st. Johnsburyr
Montpelier and Brattleboro.

Holiday Trade Better Than Elk.

Last Year.
MORE WAGE FARMERS IDLE

Resumption Early in New year
Consumption of staple COM

New York, Dec. G.-R. G.. Dunn &c Co.'S
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say.
Holiday trade was very heavy during
the last few days before Christmas,
raising the total for the season above
expectations, although comparisons with
last years figures are unfavorable at
most points. few interior cities report
better results than in 1906. but these are
exceptional cases. Generally business has
been quiet as is customary at this time
and manufacturing plants have Increased
the percentage of idle machinery. Dry
goods jobbcrs stimulated trade by special
clearance sales, retail buyers attending
in large numbers because of light stocks
on hand. The banks furnished currency
more readily for pay rolls. but little i'm
p~rovesnents Is recorded in mercantile col
lections. More wage earners are un-
employed than at any previous time this
year. yet many factories and mills an
nounce resumption early in 1905, and
consumption of staple commodities is
the savings of the preceding extended
period of full occupation.

ARE EASIER.
Trndc Is Quiet and Industry Pcrcepti-
bly, Slackened.

New York, Dec. 27.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Trade as a whole has been quiet and in
dustry has slackened perceptibly, but
the financial situation has eased, except
where, as in the case of New York, large
end-of-the-year disbursements have to
be provided for. Previous anticipation
as to the volume Of holiday trade find
confirmation in the reports that the dis
tribution, while fair was not equal to
hat Of 1906 or of some earlier years.
Mild weather is still complained Of as af-
fecting retail trade In seasonable goods,
such as clothing, shoes. rubber footwear
and kindred lines, At some cities the
usual January reduction sales were held
in December. in many instances occurr-
ing before Christmas. Jobbing trade was
quiet till after the latter date, when tho
usual clearance sales of wash and other
dress fabrics were made, arousing a fair
amount of interest. Wholesale business
has been quiet, and both this line and the
jobbing trade note tho receipt of many
| requests to delay shipment Of goods.
