DSTREET S WEEKLY
VERMONT TRADE REPORT

The year end reports to Bradstreet's
for 1910 show a leaning toward cautious.
ness In making predi tons for the i'm
mediate future, although there IS an OPP
tinistic spirit. Holiday trade for the
year was as large as that of 1869, and in
certain sections larger. City merchants
report the early shopping movement was
much more marked this year than ever
before, while in most OF the country
towns there was no difference. During
the past week many of the mills and
shops have been closed, primarily for
inventory taking, and the coming week
inaugurates the usual clearance sales
among tho retail merchants. Advanced
reports regarding years sales show the
year to have compared well with the pre-
vious one, Reports from builders and
contractors show but little change In
amount Of building work done IN the
State. In this line it is anticipated there
Will be more done the coming year.
Among the granite manufacturers and
quarry owners. shipments have been
large and satisfactory business done.
output was In excess OF that of 1909 but
tendency toward slowress in collections
has been marked Among marble manu-
fncturers there has been a reasonably
good demand. Sales of slate for roofing
purposes was brisk during tho early part
Of the year. but toward the latter end
the showing was not as large. Output
Of manufactured stock for electrical pur-
poses compares we'll with showing for
1909 Among manufa cturcrs of knit
goods sales have been fully as large, al
though prospects for the coming year are
uncertain. Machine manufacturers re-
port present business IS less than that OF
the early part of the year. but the vol
une Of business for the year was reason
ably good Other lines Of business com
pare we'll with previous years reports.
Jobbing and wholesale trade generally
report good year. The retail merchants
state their stocks are in fairly good
shape.
Mercantile failures for the year just
closed were larger than for 1909, total
number being 66 as against 80 for the year
previous. Included in the number Of fall
ures in the State for the year just closed
were ilve receiverships, one assignment.
eight compromises. six involuntary and
46 voluntary bankruptcies, with total la
bilities OF $3.50, 093.6l and assets of sl43-
O06s4 This was an increase of $50, 900 In
liabilities and 49, 200 In assets over the
year previous. which year reported three
receiverships. one assignment, four com
promises, seven involuntary and A vol
untary bankruptcies. Fire losses In the
State were larger in numbers and prop
erty damage than for 1909. AS tabulated,
the year just closed noted 1ls fires AFFECT
Ing mercantile interests to the number
of 1856, with a total damage OF ESoZo'

It is no cxaggeration TO say that
there are scores OF places in Vermont

people OF Morrisvllle have shown how
BY the construction o. a comparatively
short dam they can create a beautiful

SENATOR PAGE A GREAT WRITER.

II there is any senator or other mem
her OF Congress who writes more letters
than Senator Page of Vermont Wash
ington does not hnow Of him, says the
Washington correspondent of the Boston
Record. The senator succeeded the late
Rcdfeld Proctor and he has been In the
time has begot a wonderful penchant to
write letters. He keeps four stenog-
raphcrs constantly at IL.
1t is not Of course strange that sena-
tors and congressman have large cor
reSpondence, but at most they employ
only two stenographers to attend TO their
correspondence, even when It IS minute
~ cared for, so that Senator Pages
epistolary endeavor, as will be seen, Is
very great indeed.
The senator is CT years old, and Mr.
Page apparently believes he ought to
manifest grandfathcrly interest iu all
the good people OF Vermont So he is
writing and writing and each new letter
begets others. The senator's letters,
moreover, are not mere perfunctory eff
forts, acknowledgements and the like.
but letters Of some length In which much
personal matter enters and other topics
that arc up for legitimate discussion
Sometimes attention to letters is prac-
ticed for political effect, to beget popu-
larity, but that cannot he the case with
Senator Page as he has been elected to
serve until March 4, 1917, and he will
then be rs years old
1t would appear that before the sena-
tor is retired from public life every
household in Vermont will be on his cor
respondence list Naturally, some let
tiers of MIR, Page fall to men rather I'M
deserving. This was shown when re-
Gently Vermonter was picked up on

FROST IN HORSES BITS.

To the Editor Of the Free Press:
Several letters appeared In the New
York papers last winter on this subject.
but no easy suggestion was made. When
the bits are frozen they should be dipped
IN water even ice-cold water, for few
seconds, which will draw the frost out;
otherwise the bit sticks to the horses
