BRADSTREETS VERMONT
WEEKLY TRADE REPORT

Bradstreets Burlington office reports
granite manufacturers in monumental
line are bending every effort to take care
Of increasing volume of business but are
unable to do all they desire to do on ac-
count of a shortage of labor. 1t Is cur
rent report that many granite manufac-
turers' employees have left the granite
belt to enter as workmen on carpenter
ing work and in munitions factories which
accounts in the main for shortage Of la
Dor. In the Barre district the manufac-
turers have voluntarily granted an in
crease in wages to become effective at
spring period. The unions in that district
are said to have accepted this offer
but at Montpelier where a similar offer
has been made it Is reported that unions
voted against accepting 1t. This action
on the part Of the manufacturers 1t is
expected will have the effect Of attracting
labor during the spring period and there
by assisting in the completion Of memo
rial day work. Among quarry owners
there is reported considerable business
| ahead but a shortage Of soft coal Is be-
ing considered seriously and efforts are
being made to seek some kind of re-
lief. There is but little change in demands
for granite for building work.
| Marble is moving fairly we'll but orders
| for most part are for small monuments.
There is but little change in the situa-
| ton surrounding the slate business.
Wholesalers in foodstuffs are delayed in
i filling orders on account of delayed ship
ments. There was apparent during the
week some relief from car shortage.
| Cool winter weather accompanied by
snow. sufficient in some places for sleigh
ing, has assisted business at retail stores
in seasonable goods. Retail shoe firms
are complaining of short shipments, par
ticularly on rubber orders. There is also
more than usual complaint regarding
| freight depredations.
| The current market prices for turkeys
and poultry 1t Is expected will have ef-
feet Of keeping sales in this line below
normal although storage birds are be-
ing offered at a lower figure than native
produce.
Collections in the granite line are below
normal.
The failures affecting mercantile in.
terests so far this month number five
with total liabilities Of $4,000 as against
for the same period in November of 1916
which gave total of liabilities Of $11O, 900
