BRADSTREET'S WEEKLY
NJ TRADE REPORT

Reports to Bradstreet's from ten of the
larger centers in the State indicate labor
well employed as a whole. Among certain
lines of industry more help is employed
than in Others. Some of the manufacture
ing interests report as follows: business
among the paper mills shows an improve
ment but low water conditions threaten
to curtail the output. Among machine in
terests new business is coming in slow
ly. There is little if any change in the
volume of business at Wooden mills:
some plants are operating short force
while others are employed to capacity.
Among the shirt manufacturers new
business is confined largely to small
orders and these are for immediate de-
livery. Some new building work is in
progress and work on old contracts con-
tinues towards completion, the demand
for general hardware has been good.
Among the interesting reports for the
week is the appearance of the State bank
examiners report for the year ending
June 30, 1919. This shows the phenomenal
increase in savings deposits of over seven
and a half millions of dollars. the largest
increase for any one year in the history
of the State. This speaks well for the
condition of the individual and but re-
fleets in a small way his condition as re-
lated to ability to buy if necessary.
Some of the country merchants are
inclined to take a conservative outlook
as to trade for the coming winter, while
the retail merchants in the larger places
consider outlook good. Trade during the
past week has been inclined to be light
and is attributed to general weather con-
ditions. pleasant and too warm to move

good crop of potatoes, although yield in
some instances has been light. Collections
generally are reported slow; two failures
are reported for the week.
Burlington reports but little change in
trade conditions at the mills. Retail
tally increased by reason of the social
ed merchants week program. Rutland
reports labor well employed and retail
trade is reasonably good for the period
although during the past week it has
been a little quiet; collections are re-
ported from fair to slow. Reports from
st, Adams show no change in general
conditions. Vt Swanton all of the manu-
featuring plants are employed to capa-
ity. The merchants in this section report

and vermin proof as a building can be
made. The exterior is of asphalt vul-
canite shingle, laid nine ply in thick

greatly assist in keeping the interior
at a normal temperature. Nearly ev-
erything else about the building Is of
cement to add to the hreproof quail
ties and to promote cleanliness.
The house is 81 by II feet in dimen-
