BRADSTREET'S VERMONT
WEEKLY TRADE REPORT

Bradstrcet's Burlington Office reports the
employment of skilled labor in all lines,
save one, was never as large at this pc
riod of the year at present. Machine
manufactur plants note slight falling
off in the domestic demand but that for
eign orders are coming in as large as pre-
viously reported The larger contracts are
being given attention and smaller orders
are being filed in order hut credit distinc-
ton is governing small shipments. There
has been a wide latitude given in credits
and with the large orders placed the pay
ments in many instances have been SLOW.
General machine bushes shows compar-
ativelv a we'll as the amount of business
done by larger interests. Scale manufac-
lures indicate a heavier trade. Some com
plant is heard from lumber men OF in
ability to obtain cars for shipping. The
year among slo men has not been as good
as usual but predictions and outlook for
the coming year are more favorable,
With the farmer the upward tendency Of
prices has held good and he has marketed
goods at top prices which returns have
materially strengthened his position f.
nanciallV Further reports of potatoes
rotting are heard and price per hushel is
on the advance. Some complaint is heard
| regarding the outlook for domestic tur-
| keys this year. The wet period of the
early part of the year made raising of
| them difficult and it is believed there is
not the crop that there was a year ago.
Burlington building operations for the
month Just closed shows better than a
| third increase in amount expended as
compared with the same month of a year
ago although it was less than half the
amount permitted in October, 1914 The
| total number of failures in tho State for
! October were seven of which number
three resulted in bankruptcy. October
/ 1915 failures in the United States were
more than in September or July but fewer
/ than in October, one or two years ago by
seven and - per cent, respectively. Gen
eral retail business in the State has beer
