BRADSTREETS WEEKLY
VERMONT TRADE REPORT.

Reports to Bradstreets for the week
In summarizing the trade conditions for
the month of August show labor fairly
well employed at present but not as well
employed throughout the State, in all
lines of manufacture as 1t was for the
same month last year, There are several
lines which note fully as much labor en-
poyed as is usual and business in volume
is ahead for the period while with other
lines the number of employed is less.
With machine interests in general the
present conditions show trade a little
slow. With the wooden mills n similar
condition prevails. Knit goods mills are
we'll employed but they have nothing to
say regarding future outlook. AS a whole,
chair and furniture plants are we'll en-
ployed and report new business coming
in In small lots The demand for gran
tie is good for both monumental and
building work and reports from the mar
BILE mills show an active demand. Ven
Ger mills have considerable business
ahead but among the turned wood work.
Ing plants new business is said not as
brisk.
Reports from agricultural sections vary
according to locality The warm weather
has been of benefit to corn but the general
yield in quality is believed not quite up
to average. In the eastern part Of the
State some damage has been done by
early frosts. Oats, however, It Is expect
cd, will show n big yield. Reports on
potatoes so far indicate yield will be
less than usual. Wholesale dealers in
food stuffs report a normal market but
| generally collections are slow
| Included In the failure reports for the
month lust closed were one involuntary
and three voluntary petitions in bank
luutcy with total liabilities of s1S,S3l65
/ and total assets Of sl2,122.72. This was
/ the smallest number of failures for the
| month of any year since 1910, although
! the four bankruptcies Of August, 1912
| showed the amount of money involved
was over 40 per cent less than for the
three voluntary ones of that month this
year
| The damage done to mercantile inter-
ests by reason Of fires was the smallest
| since 1906 For August Of this year there
were II fires, affecting IL people with an
aggregate damage of .l5.S25, while Aug
! ust of last year gave seven fires affecting
eight firms with a total damage Of $500
| Notwithstanding the extreme dry condi-
| ton of tho woods, only four forest fires
were reported OF any moment during the
month Just closed.
| Tbree domestic corporations were char
tered with an aggregate capital of $685.
90 against two with a capitalization OF

worked out. whereby 90 per cent addi-
tonal office space can be obtained by
removing nine feet and ten inches OF
the length OF the vault, which Is 20 feet
and nine inches In size.
Then the vault will still be large
enough, he said. At present 1t Is neces-
sary to keep the books, attend to the
needs Of over 1900 patrons, and receive

The first case of infantlle paralysis to
appcar in Burlington was diagnosed Sat
urday in Maxwell Powell, son of Mr.. and
Mrs Max l.. Powell Of South Willard
street The child has been Ill for week
but no one suspected the dread disease
until Saturday. The patient who is two
and one-half years of age, is reported
better than he was few days ago and
the physicians i'm charge feel assured
that he will recover on account of his ro-
bust condition If he does not recuper-
ate rapidly he will be taken to Boston In
a few days for treatment by n specialist
The child became i'll about ten days ago
and the Illness puzzled the physicians
A consultation was held on Saturday and
q quarantine was ordered Mrs. Powell
and some Of the servants are now con-
fined to the house and the child and
nurse are isolated in two rooms.
Infantle paralysis has baflied the most
brilliant medical r1on in this country for
many years. on rare occas ions the child
RECEIVERS the full use of his body, but US
ually the disease results In Gripping the
victim for life. At one time the stable
fv was believed to be the transmitter or
the germ but later discoveries have dis
credited this theory and the inNesuEatols
IRE pretty nearly back where they were
at the beginning.
Hardwick has been the center of the
disease in Vermont and there are at pres
ent reported by the state board of health
to he 13 cases there. In adjoining towns
there are about two more and outside of
that the only case known is that of the
Powell child. How he contracted the dis
ease is a mystery AZ he has never been
