BPADSTREET'S VERMONT
WEEKLY TRADE REPORT.

Bradstrects Burlington Office reports
trade conditions for the first quarter of
the present year show an improved con-
dtiOn as a whole among the manufacture
ing interests. as compared with the Same
period Of 1915. y later season has de-
layed retail business somewhat but the
ability of the public to buy is better than
year ago. Retail merchants have pur-
chased more heavily by reason of the ris-
ing market, and with n continuance of
conditions now existing, the wisdom of
this will be shown. The lumbermen have
cut and brought to mills a larger cut
of logs, and these have been cleaned up
as they have not been in previous seasons
for some time The demand for lumber
is better. The maple sugar season this
year has been late. Weather conditions
have been too good" for the best re-
suits, and the runs so far have been
light. In the southern part of the State,
this is particularly true. Some good runs
have been harvested. Fancy grades of
this product have appeared, and, as is
to be expected, have received the benefit
of top prices.
Mercantile failures have been less nu-
merous and have involved considerable
less money. The first quarter Of the pres
ent year recorded three mercantile fail
ures involving $4,000 or over, while the
same period of a year ago gave the num-
Der of five. OF the l6 failures thus far
this year, January gave two, February
10, and March four, with total assets of
$3.50, and Liabilities of $4,000, The
same months of 1918 recorded three, 10,
and eight respectively. with aggregate
