Smithtown, NY Residents in one Long Island town are sprucing up their yards, but in the process are making life extremely difficult for municipal workers. Families staying home due to COVID-19 are cutting trees and clearing heavy branches with abandon, or hiring tree-trimming companies, many of which are simply hauling the stumps into the street and leaving them for inundated town workers. And, again, that is a code violation in Smithtown, town Supervisor Edward Wehrheim said. Smithtown officials are contemplating legislation that would impose a $500 fine on companies that dont finish the job and clean up the trees. Because of this uptick in that debris in the road, we are looking at our code, to change it, Wehrheim said.

Even with the conflicting signals on the trade war, momentum has seemed to be in the direction of a stopgap deal.

The 10-year Treasury yield dropped below the two-year yield in late August and early September.

NEW YORK, NY – The market for small businesses cooled further during the third quarter as fallout from trade wars made companies look less appealing to buyers. That's the finding of a quarterly report analyzing small business sales released by BizBuySell.com, an online marketplace for companies. BizBuySell.com counted 2,454 small businesses sold during July-September, down 8.6% from 2,685 sold in the same period last year. Some owners who were considering selling are now holding off because they're concerned they may not get a good sales price for their companies. Some small business owners are reluctant to put their companies on the market, while others are thinking more seriously than in the past about what they need to do to make their companies more likely to sell.

NEW YORK, NY – Many small companies tied to the housing market are seeing a slowdown in business, one that's forecast to continue well into 2020. Reports on home sales, the home remodeling market and sales of furniture and home furnishings show the spreading fallout from rising prices for houses and apartments. While sales are up nearly 4% from a year ago, an increase due to falling mortgage rates, would-be buyers are being turned away by housing prices that keep rising. But with sales fluctuating, there's less remodeling going on and so contractors, many of whom are small businesses, are getting less work. The Commerce Department figures don't break out sales at small or independent retailers versus large chain stores.
