VERMONT TRADE SUMMARY.
Business Conditions Greatly Improved

BURLINGTON, Feb brad
street s Vermont office reports condi-
tions surrounding manufacturing bust
ness show that plants are better EN-
ployed and have larger amount of bus
mess ahead than was shown for the
same month of year ago. There are
a few lines which are no better en-
ployed, but labor as 4 whole is EN-
ploved and in several instances at an
increase in wage over what was prev
iously reported Granite manufactur-
ers report some small Improvement in
| the general demand. Owing to increase
| in raw material, manufacturers of gar
ments and users of material of that
grade have been forced to increase
Iprices accordingly.
Reports from agricultural sections
indicate a larger activity than usual
on the part of the farmer, to make inn
Iprovements and betterments, not only
in buildings, but otherwise. The de-
mand for silos and dairy apparatus is
reported larger than usual. While
the warm weather of the week carried
off a greater part of the snow in the
cities and villages, it is reported there
is sufficient snow in the woods for lum-
bering.
Ice in MANY of the streams has
jbroken up, and while the amount of
lice harvested so far has been small
there is no uneasiness expressed over
the situation. Returns have come il
from many of the inventories from
both the manufacturer and the retail
J merchant, and the showing in many in
istances indicates the volume of bust
ness during the latter part of 191;
went long way toward closing up th'
gap of the early part of the year Al
optimistic sentiment prevails.

PosToFFIcE BILL $500, ,509,879.
House Committee Boosts Estimate by
S4OOO,0O0.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The post
office bill carrying a total of 1920
500, $40, was reported to the house
yesterday by the postotIice committee.
AS drafted it exceeds the postoftice
department estimates, which call for
1916, 364, ,S79 and is larger than ap-
propriations made for the present tis
cal year by $7,000,00O. The reason
given for the increase is to provide
10000 for rural delivery service
instead of $48, 100000, as suggested by
the department.
The larger appropriation, says the
committee report is due to normal in
crease in the business of the depart
ment.
The most important legislative rider
in the bill is a provision authorizing
the postoffice- general to make compu-
tations for railway mail pay on the
basis of space occupied instead Of
weight. This proposed change is to be
come effective July /, 1916, or as soon
thereafter as practicable.
The committee also provides author
izing the interstate committee commits
sion to Investigate the reasonable1es'
OF railway mail pay under the new sys
tenn either on the initiative of the
/ postmaster general or the fling of {
petition on the part of 81 per cent o.
/ the mail carrying roads. The commits
sion is not given authority to chang
! the rates.
