VERMONT TRADE REPORT

Reports to Bradstreot's for the week
state machine business Is fully employed
and there IS considerable business ahead;
this Is also true of plants manufacturing
.hoddy. Other manufacturing lines are
EMPLOYED full time with the usual num-
Der of employees for the period. Reports
upon the early run of sap in maple SUI
gar orchards note a limited amount of
business has been done in this line. What
sugar there has been placed on the mar
lot has been of good quality n is COM
handing a good price. The season has
opcncd earlier than usual this year and
under peculiar conditions, for instance
there is a very small amount of snow in
the vn,Is and i'm certain camps none at
all. This is looked upon as an evidence
of a smaller amount of maple sugar be-
ing PRODUCED. II is the opinion, however,
that prices will bee above normal.
