Bradstreet's Weekly Vermont
Trade Report.

Reports to Bradstreet's III summarize
ing conditions for the first half of
present year as compared with similar
period of 1908 bring out two prominent
features, an increase in volume of bust
ness done and a tendency toward more
difficulty in making collections. That
in brief is concensus as opinions in the
main but in separating manufacturing
business into groups some lines do not
show much improvements but gains in
others have made up enough to more
than counter balance. From time to
time during the past six months the
Bradstreet's Company's reports and
forecasts have pointed out such indus
tries as have shown gains; among the
more marked were machine business,
knit goods lumber and building ma
terials. 1t is true throughout the dis
trict conditions have varied but the
manufacturer now feels more confident
of his position than he did in January
and February and predictions are that
the coming six months will gradually
unfold larger business, particularly in
lines where demand has been light
Agricultural districts report hay crop is
being harvested and while weather con-
ditions have been right for rapid
growth, yield is not up to the average.
1t is estimated the crop will be 25qo
to 800 less than an average, This is
accounted for by reason of drouth dur.
ing the summer and fall of 1908. Other
crops are late and ripening slowly.
Fruit orchards are in healthy condi-
ton.
Water in streams is lower than is
general at this time of year, particularly
in southern part of state where need of
rains is felt.
Failure statistics for the month lust
closed give two receiverships, one nvol-
untary bankruptcy and three voluntary
bankruptcies affecting mercantile in
terests with liabilities $525G44 and
assets of $5Os3.75 while June. of 1908
gave four voluntary bankruptcies with
liabilities of $l7,S74.5G and assets of
$l6,O64.34. As will be noted amount
involved was one third as great this
year as last. Summaries for the six
months period ending June 80, 1909
give one assignment, three receiverships
four involuntary bankruptcies and twen-
ty-three voluntary bankruptcies with
aggregate liabilities of S79,299.77 and
assets of $5l ,2S4.29. Same period 1908
gave one receivership, four involuntary
bankruptcies and % voluntary bank
ruptcies with total liabilities $20,4O4,42

1t seems to be generally conceded
that the Champlain celebration in Bur.
lington was the greatest event of the
kind ever held in Vermont. With lib
eral appropriation from the state, which
has been used largely in working up the
Burlington affair, and considerable ex-
penditure by the city, together with the
presence of the President of the United
States and foreign officials, there was
every opportunity for grand success,
The celebration ought to add to the
prosperity of the Queen City by attract
ing new visitors and investors into the
Champlain valley. If it does this, indi.
rectly at least, the whole state will profit
thereby. Mortified News.

Good Advice From A Distin-
auished Foreiqncr.

The Ri. Hon James Bryce, ambassa
dor to the United States from Great
Britain, is recognized as one OF the
greatest authorities in the world on the
history of the American commonwealth.
1t is unique distinction. We doubt II
this is true of any other foreigner, that
he is the best acquainted with the ms
tory and traditions. the resources and
possibilities, the opportunities aud dan
gers of country.
Mr. Bryce made most scholarly and
interesting address at the Champlain
tercentenary observance in Burlington,
during which he spoke with startling
familiarity of the resources and oppor-
tunities of The State OF Vermont. lie
talked like Vermonter-like one who
had been reading for years the editorials
in Vermont newspapers. He sounded
the key note of Vermont's problems.
The distinguished diplomat and pro.
found historical scholar uttered propf-
ecy rs to this State. He said that
Vermont's two principal assests were its
men and it's scenery and other resources
for becoming great resting place for
the population of the crowded cities
This is along the line of the advice
given by Vermont newspapers in recent
years. He profhesied that the time
would come when the people OF eastern
United States would come to know Yer
m0nt's beauties and would flock here IN
ever increasing numbers for their sum-
mer rest and recreation.
Mr.. Bryce warned Vermont against
denuding its beautiful hills and noun
tains of their wooded growth. He
warned the State against the closing Of
any mountain summit to the whole
people. He said that he hoped the
time would never'come when private IN
dividuals would control tor their selfish
purpose as they did in his own country
the mountain tops. These should b'
free to everyone, of however humble
circumstances, to get near to nature TO
natures self He did not speak particC
larly from the stand point of sports
man but urged the study of nature
The geoogist and the botanist shonl'
be.free to go wherever they wished. MI
Bryce's speech was one of the mos
helpful bits of advice and one of tn
most appreciative sketches of Vermont
resources, possibilities and manifest des
tiny ever given by anyone, American Of
foreigner, from without the State.-Rut
land News.
