Bradstreet's Vermont Weekly Trade
Report.

Bradstreet's Burlington Office re-
ports manufacturing plants are OPP
Grating fairly to capacity although
old orders are being the ones that
have kept them busy. New business
is coming slowly. There is an APP
parent abundance of labor. Unskill-
ed laborers largely exceed the pres
ent demand. Wooden and cotton mills
are restricting and have allowed
some of their operators to lay idle.
Manufacturers of paper report new
business is coming in slowly. There
is among some of the plants a sur
plus of old orders. One pulp manu-
featuring plant closed its works the
past week temporarily. The demand
in this commodity is not as large as
it was earlier. Some shipments of
pulp wood are moving to out of state
points.
Slate quarries and manufacturers
report the market quiet but look for
ward to an increase in the demand
with the coming spring. The close
of the week finds but little snow any
where in the state. Warm weather
of the week, coupled by rains tended
to cause what there was to disappear.
Lumber men report considerable
timber cut and skidded but inability
to move same to mills owing to lack
of snow.
Passenger travel has been below
what is generally noted at this time
of the year. Clearance sales have
attracted buyers but unreasonable
weather has interfered with a larger
business. Collections are reported as
reasonably good. The week was free
of mercantile failures in the state.

WILLIAM WORRIES
OVER REAL ESTATE
HAS PLENTY OF MONEY IN TIE
DUTCH BANKS.

Amerongen, June Ia. (CorrespOn-
dence of the Associated Press. 1.-The
former German Emperor has beer dis
cussing financial problems for more
than a wee', with Doctor ]. Kricge,
who has been in charge of the imper-
al estates and funds in Germany since
the ,Hohenzollern abdication,
DR.. Kreige, one of the former Ger
man functionaries of the German For
eign Office, has been here in confer
ence with Herr Hohenzollern whon
the latter was not engaged in wood
saving. The Marshal of the German
Emperor's court, Won Gontard, also
participated in the discussions.
The former Emperor is not short Of
money, as he possessed a considerable
amount on deposit in Holland before
war began This was added to appre-
Gladly while hostilities were in prog
ress. During the few stirring weeks
preceding his abdication, William and
his followers transferred further
large sums in ready cash.
But william is troubled as to the
fate of his real estate. He possessed
no fewer than fifty-nine castles, hunt
ing boxes and country seats scattered
over the empire. The recenues or
these properties are for the present at
least in the hands of the new govern
ment. which hitherto has paid from
their proceeds all Herr Hohenzollern's
hills. forwarded to Berlin for settle
ment. These accounts have been
unite formidable, as the imperial
refugee is called upon to pay for
everything he consumes, as we'll as for
his accommodation and the upkeep OF
his suite, besides paying the wages
of the gardeners and dOmestics OF the
Bentinck estate who render him serV-
ices while wood-cutting or in the
household.
The expenses of the Dutch guard OF
gendarmes on duty around the castle
also fall on the Hohenzollern. purse.
The German governments inten-
tions concerning the former Emperor's
private fortune cannot be CLEANED
! here. Germans recently from the
Fatherland declare there is great
deal of purely personal sympathy for
William among all classes and that
it is likely he will receive large
norton of the value of what he own
ed. They say it is probable that most
of the castles and country houses will
be sold and the cash result paid to
Williams account, but number OF
them may be retained as government
property to be used for the purposes
of Local government headquarters.
This they consider an equitable ar
rangement which will not deprive the
ex-monarcli OF his rights as a private
citizen as, they believe, would be
the case if his property were confis-
Gated.

Baker reached the aviation division
putting an end to acquisition OF fly
ing fields for which contracts had
been previosuly entered into.

Department to refuse to cash checks
for the purchase for flying fields
where these checks were not present
ed for payment prior to noon OF last
Saturday.
Secretary Baker takes the posi-
ton that Congress has Enthusiastically
made it's view clear that land should
not be bought without specific
authorization and that he must respect
that view.
This means that Fort Benning and
other military camps desired bly, the
Government must await sanction
from Congress before the purchase is
made.
