BUILDING OPERATIONS
ARE ON INCREASE
Bradstreet's Finds Favorable Features
in Some Other Lines-StiIi
Many Unsettled Features.

NEW YORK, March 12.-Braa-
streets tomorrow will say:
Trade and industrial developments
this week have been slightly more
favorable. the result being a better
tone in various lines of trade and
some enlargement of activity in
spring demand from jobbers and
from retailers. Helpful in this re-
weather conditions, the advance of
the seasons trade toward an early
Easter. large shipments of grain TO
market. attracted ty high prices. the
placing Of some business in iron and
steel, induced by lower prices. and
the resumption of building operations
at many cities after the winter shut
down. Collections show slight gain.
There are still many unsettled fea-
lures and some soft spots in the
trade and industrial situation. Elk
port trade totals at present are de-
pressing. displaying the effect Of high
prices here and of reduced buying
abroad. Wage reductions in the iron
and steel trade are increasing Shoe
manufacturers are reported catching
I'D with spring orders. and long be-
tween-seasons period Is looked for.
Perhaps the best showing made by
an~ industry is that Of building ma
teriaIs. where proposed expenditures
are about double those foreshadOwed
year ago.
business failures in the United
States for the week ending March
II were 254. against 2l9 last week

is disturbed. The location Of the
garrison may possibly have the effect
of inducing Winooski to close it's
blind tigers, and to become dry in
fact as well as in law 1t may also
induce Burlington to reconsider its
wet program. The truth is that the
location of garrison, white or black,
is bound to afford serious local diff
ficulties anywhere. But the army is
here to stay, and it would seem in
some ways as though the quartering
of twelve hundred colored cavalrymen
in a region away from large cities
and in a generally law abiding COM
munity such as Vermont, were an
ideal disposition of the force. At all
events, Vermont will now have an
opportunity to make good. She must
brace herself to provide reasonably

faces, or cease to point the traditional
