PORT
About Half a Sugar CrOp-SOme
Good Machine Orders.

Good Machine Orders.
Bradstreets Burlington, VT, Office
reports the returns for the week re-
garding maple sugar crop indicates
the run of sap so far has yielded
about half a crop, although
from certain sections of the state, the
returns would indicate that this is
a little strong. During the latter
part of the week, some of the low lie
ing farms report no runs, but for the
higher points, owners of orchards are
confndent of considerable more of
a yield. Reports from some western
states when last years crop was much
below normal, this years returns are
about normal. Then, it is believed
will influence the price, which al
ways fluctuates at this early. part of
the season. Some good syrup and
sugar have been marketed at good
prices but it is expected that the price
offered the farmer will eventually be
a little lower than general.
Further reports from certain ma
chine manufacturing plants indicate
good sized orders received. A slight
improvement in the market for fur
niture is also noted. Sales of goods
made from gray materials are re-
ported light. Saw mills in the north
ern part of the state report
the light fall of snow dur
ing the winter has prevent
ed the hauling of the full cut of
logs to the mills. One of the wood
working plants in Bennington County
has added the manufacture of clothes
pins to it's products. Manufacturers
and jobbers in overalls. indicate a
small improvement in demand In
number there appears to be about the
normal amount but the vokme is
less than usual, owing to top Prices.
The flour and grain movement is re-
ported corresponding affected.
, The warm weather of the past
week has benefited retail trade in
seasonable goods. The millinery
season this year is reported larger
than usual. In the granite section
retail trade is said to have materially
felt the conditions surrounding that
line of work. The retail merchant
is ordering light for immediate wants
and reports in some instances they
are not buying for fall, preferring to
wait the development of the market.
Inc receipts to the farmers owning
dair1es are increasing with the Iarg-
livered. Complaint, however, comes
from the rural sections of slow COL
lections.
Reports to Bradstreets for the
month of March regarding the build
ing work permitted for that month
discloses an improved condition, not
only in New England states but in
the middle western and southern
states. The total number of per-
.mits in the United States was only
two per cent below that of a year
ago. There was, however, an in
crease of fourteen and five-tenths per
cent during the past quarter as COM
pared with the first quarter preced-
ing it. The. business failures in the
United States for the week ending
April 8, were 372 as compared with
81 for the week previous. In this
state the month so far has been free
from mercantile failures.

munity is irreligious its lack Of that
quality will be found In its schools,
and the mere reading of few verses
from the Bible will not change the
character of the school. The coun-
sci of Phillips Brooks is as safe a
guide today as the day it was given:
When the nation is truly
Christian, the nations schools
will be Christian without any eff
fort or the act of any school COM
mittee. Until that time shall
come it is our task to make the
secular school as lofty as its ma
ture will allow and to do what
we can to increase in the COM
munity that broad and unsecta-
rian religious life which the
schools cannot but feel and to
which, when it becomes univer-
sal, they must submit them
selves.

The United States a Creditor Nation

In August, the nrst month of the
European war, exports from the
United States were smaller than i'm
ports by some $40, 100000, leaving
this country in debt to foreigners by
that amount. Since August an ex-
porting movement has been in prog
ress, stimulated by the unprecedented
demand of Europe for our foodstuffs,
for cotton, and for supplies and mu-
nitions of war, that has brought
about results unprecedented in the
history of our foreign trade, and
which, if continued in anything
like their present proportions, will es-
tablish this country securely in the
position of a creditor nation. For
the four months following August,
the adverse balance of trade was
turned by the rapidly arising vol
ume of exports, aided by the decrease
in importations, into a favorable ba-

as a week ago and three times us large
as on the corresponding day year ago.
As usually Is the case when the receipts
packer buyers went about picking up the
best offerings of handyweights first and
left the Tess desirable grades until later
Ina the forenoon. The early sales OF the
best stuff were around lbc lower on
lambs and l0nl5c Oft on aged sheep.
The market dragged along most OF the
forenoon and Il was late before every
thing had been cleaned up.
The quality of the lambs was very
much Ike yesterday with the bulk OF
the lambs moving anywhere from 5000

over the last two days, but the quality
was not materially different, the bulk OF
the ewes selling at - 2SG5.7O. The toB
