Bradstreet's Weekly Vermont
Trade Report.

Reports to Bradstreet's for the week
show but little change over those of the
week previous, although there is
healthy tone. In the northern section
of the state continued amount of snow
fall has affected the larger volume of re-
tail trade but has assisted the farmer in
bringing products to market and has
been beneficial to numbering industries.
In the southern section of the state last
weeks snow fall is the first they have
had to do any good. Lack of sufficient
ksnow for sleighing is said to have caused
| a ANAL amount of business although in
comparing sales thus far with those Of
previous years there is but little differ
/ ance in volume. On the whole outlook
is considered favorably. Reports from
slate manufactures show there is small
increase in demand for so called mil
stock and prices are frmer. Roofing
slate business in the two predominatins
grades is still quiet. Organ manufac-
turers report amount of business re

Whether they be artists of laymen,
If they have ever spent any length OF

impressions they retain must be the
Spanish stairs and the groups of gay

are called, who, when not engaged by
any artist. make this spot a rendez-
vOus. Here they would congregate,
some chatting, others droning in an
undertone their weird folk songs, all
leisurely waiting for the appearance
of a passing artist who might be in
search of subject for his picture.
The Spanish stairs was the bureau
of engagement for the ciociare. But
