Butler.
Condition of Crops Wheat will be some
what better than an average crop and the
anie may be said of rye, O.its look fnir. Com
i-omewhat backward and it is too early to
prophesy much about it, but on the whole
looks as well as could be expected. Hay will
fall somew hat below an average crop, and
potatoes will do well. The plague of the
lA-.lorada beetle has been greatly mitigated
in comparison with previous years. A fair
yield oi Iruit is expected.
Business Outlook Reasonably fair. There
pi omies to be plenty of work lor mechanics
iiiid laboring men generally. Oil develop
ments and operations decidedly languid at
present. Mouev does not appear to be so
plenty, ana collections are siovter man at
the same time last year.
Big Ban.
Condition of Crops The general outlook
is good. The grass will be a fair average
ciop. Oats looks exceedingly w ell. Corn is
sun 11, but i6 picking up nicely, and a few
warm rains will insure a good general crop,
some of the fruit along the low valleys was
damaged by late frosts, but on the high
giounds the" outlook is such as will guaran
tee a large crop. In laet, apples, pears,
quinces, etc, are the largest for years.
luine-s Outlook At present fair. The
general stores have done a good spring busi
nei". Collections are r. little slow, and the
lumbermen and jobbers have not lully re
covcied lrom the bad winter of 1SS9-80.
Bcllevernon.
Condition of Crops Wheat will bo excel
lent if nothing happens. Oats short, but
the stand well. Corn the same. Apples in
nli:.i.daucc, peaches short, pears short, cher
ries plentiful, grapes good.

ting better prioes now than this time hist
year orior several years, and are doing more
imuroving and having more agricultural
Implements of abetter and more improved
quality.
Canonsburg.
Condition of Crops IVhoat up to, if not
nboio, the average. Oats short at present,
but well set. witn promise of an average
crop. Corn looks well, and, while small at
piecnt will no doubt como out all right,
and rrouii-e- good crop. Grass crop large;
iuinu.m's were looking badly just previous
to :ho late rains, but mink tiio rain camo in
time to save them. Hay will bo an average
crop.
Ilusinoss Outlook Rather quietat present,
but think the outlook rather hopeful. Col
lections very hard to make. Xot much
building going on at present, yet the inquiry
lor building lots is above the usual at this
season.
Cnrmlcliacls.
Condition of Crops Wheat is looking fine,
and promises to be more than an averago
frop. Oats pmmiso well, but not as largo an
acreage a, last year. Corn, so far, is growing
liuely and a full acreage. Grass crop i ill be
abundant. On the whole, the crop outlook
is very promising, and the farmers are satis
lied wim the piutpects.
Unsincs'i Outlook Is a little dull. Wool
moving ou at 30e. Merchants, lion ever, an
ticipate a fair summer trade, and ha e
stocked up to meet their expectations.
Fanners are gcttingbetter prices allaround,
but bad debts, mortgages, etc, are keeping
money matters close.
Freedom.
Condition of Crops The outlook for all
kind- of crops is very good at present. Hay
looked a littio bad during tho dry spell, but
the prospects are now that we will have a
very good crop. Wheat and rye look very
w ell. Corn and oath, the farmers say, will do
very well 11 nothing happens later on. Po
tatoes look nice, but will be later than
UMial. Taken altogether, there is no danger
ol any scarcity in our neighborhood. Fruit
w ill be good, w ith low exceptions.
tuine"is Outlook Business has been
rather dull this spring ou account of local
strikes and other causes, but it is improving
some now, and wo look for better business
t be coming tall. Collections are rather slow.
Greensburg.
Condition of Crops Throughout West
moreland county all the crops promise well.
Corn is short, owing to the cold, late spring.
Grass v ill be good out old meadows may be
slioit. Wheat is an excellent stand and will
bo, if it ripens w ithout being blown down, a
i ory large crop. Vegetables have a stiong
-et and are good. Potatoes were never
li-tt er no bugs to destroy and of late suf
ficient rain to nourish them. While tho
li uit was injured by lato frosts there will bo
enough for the need of tho people and to
sp.ue.
ll.isiness Outlook With the settlement of
ttie great strike in the coke region and
n-snmption of work tho old time prosperity
j.as come again. While tho builders and
mechanics' strike has had the effect of pre-
eutiug much building it is hoped tho early
adjustment of these disputes will start
capital In this direction. There are no great
booms but a substantial prosperity. Money
is abundant and investments easy.
Gallltzln.
Condition of Crops The protracted drv
weather of May destroyed the prospects of
s. ha crop. The cold nights in the first half
of June have been detrimental to the corn
ci op. Kye and wheat aro likely to be a good
crop. Early oats will be a medium crop;
late oats a iailuro. The prospects for fruit
nere never better. Berries of all kinds are
abundant.
Ki. si. less Outlook The business outlook
in li'is vicinity is not at all flattering. Tho
dread of the eight-hour strike had a damp
en nig impression ou industries hereabouts.
Tho coal mines are all being operated, but
aie only doing half work. The coke trade is
in advance of the coal. Business in tho
north and south of this county is tar in ad-
ance of any other portion. A new railroad
is being put through the northern portion of
the county that is giving work to a great
many men.
Hastings.
Condition of Crops Wheat in the northern
part of Cambria county is good, better than
lorycjn; rye, good; oats, fair; hay not as
jkk1 as last year. All fruits are in better
condition than for years.
Busmcss Outlook The spring is very dull,
and nothing doing, but it is getting much
better now, and the building of railroads in
this section will no doubt make business
better than ever it has been.
Irwin.
Condition of Crops I was over an average
portion of the county for the past two days,
and I found the wheat crop unusually good,
not so thick on the gioumlnssomo seasons,
out well filled, so that the yield, both in
ijiuilitj and quantity, will be better than lor
j car. The corn is'backward from the cold
spiing, but is now rapidly recovering lost
ground, tlio weather Deing all that could be
lesi"cd. Oats will bo average, and the
ieult In potatoes will be iinuicuso from
pre-cut appearances. The price may be
toner than $150 per bushel next winter.
i hei u w ill also be an abundance of iruit of
::1! sorts.
Business Outlook I do not see why busi
ness should bo dull, as there are plenty of
merpriscs on hand. The folly ot tho me
name in striking for oight hours lias
checked building materially, but I suppose
tint cannot be helped.

In its growth by the cold weather the latter
part of May, but is now pushing ahead
rapidly. The general prospect for good crops
has not been as good for SO years.
Business Outlook Good. This when the
crops begin to be harvested and grain mar
keted. Developments in coal in the south
ern and northern portions of tho county will
stimulate business very much.
Johnstown.
Condition of Crops The general outlook
in this vicinity is good. The indications aro
that tho hay, wheat and rye crop will be a
very good one. Oats begin to look pretty
well under the influence of the recent needed
refreshing rains. Corn, owing to the
droughts during April and the early portion
of May, is very backward. The fruit crop,
both large and smalt, bids fair to be an ex
cellent one, and tho farmer finds a ready
market right for his entire product, what
ever it may be.
Business Outlook Business is below the
averago of previous years. This is caused
by several reasons. First, the stringent
money market, which has prevailod since
last fall, has caused a decline in the price of
the products of our manufactories, which
cansed a reduction of wages. This naturally
affected all branches of business. Several
large amounts of money have been invested
and used in rebuilding tho waste places
made by the great flood of 18S9, and while
adding to the permanent wealth of the com
munity the money is temporarily from tho
channels of business. However, all things
considered, we aro in pretty good shape, and
tho prospects of the coming season are
Somewhat better than the past has been.
Hi Manning.
Condition of Croos Looking welL Pros
pects are for more than an average yield of
wheat. Hay will be a little short owing to
the drought during May. The rains of this
month are bringing on corn, oats anLfota
toes, and indications now point to a good
yield. Fruit will be plenty. In some places
the frost hurt It, but reports from farmers
are that there will be plenty of fruit, such as
apples, peaches and cherries.
Business Outlook Everything points to an
increase of business this season. Farmers are
encouraged by the good prospects of crops,
and our merchants expect a good trade.
Lecchburg.
Condition of Crops Wheat looks well;
rrospects are good for large crop. Oats look
well. Grass a fair crop, but not so large as
1S90. Corn looks fairly well; can't tell now,
ns Julv and August complete.
Business Outlook Only fair prospects for
a good fall trade in this community. The
farmers generally are feeling very hopeful
as to the crops.
Mount Pleasant.
Condition of Crops The crops in and
around Mt. Pleasant never looked better for
this season, of the year. t heat is especially
looking welL The farmers all bring in en
couraging reports, and consequently they
look happy and no doubt are, as they have
every reason to he.
Business Outlook Business is now begin.
nine to look up some since the great coke
sti ike has been declared off. "Business men
don't look for much change for the better
until the fall trade sets in, as most of our
Beople got behind owing to the late strike,
ollcctions are hard to make just at tho
present time. After the coke workers re
ceive two or three pays better business can
be expected. '
Marion Center.
Condition of Crops The outlook for good
crops of all kinds is good, better than for
several years. Wheat, oats, corn and rye
are lookmg good. Lots of fruit all over our
county.
Business Outlook Middling dull, but is
looking np. All we need is a good oats and
corn crop, xney nave Decn snort ior sev
eral years but the prospect is A No. 1.
2ew Castle.
Condition of Crops Generally good. Wheat
and oats particularly so in most sections.
Corn is backward, but it is too early yet to
form much of an estimate as to this crop.
Warm weather will repair all past injury.
The hay crop prospects are fair.
Business Outlook Our numerous blast fur
naces have pretty generally resumed. Glass
works have had a fair season and talk of bet
ter prioes next year. I can think of no im
Sortant industries that are not in operation,
uilding continues to be very active. The
new industries established here within the
past few years have caused a demand for
houses somewhat in excess of the supply.
Parker's Landing.
Condition of Crops Strawberries In this
section. Cherries and small fruits plenty.
Peaches and apples look good. Hay will be
light. Wheat looks for a good crop. Oats
look favorable. Xot many potatoes were
planted on account of high price of seed.
Business Outlook Only fair. The oil busi
ness governs this section. Money is hard to
collect on old debts. People more inclined
to buy for cash than they have been.
Pnnxsutawncy.
Condition of Crops Wheat and rye gen
erally look well and promise a good yield.
Oats and corn are backward and depend on
a favorable season for their future develop
ment. Grass will not bo as large as it has
been for the last two years. Fruit will not
be a large crop, but there will be an ample
cropfor domestic uses.
Business Outlook In this immediate local
ity business is quite brisk. This of course is
materially affected by the coal and coke
operations in this section. In general, how
ever, He think the business outlook will
compare favorably with the past few years.
Thero is certainly no cause for complaint.
Parnassus.
Condition of Crops The wheat crop in this
neighborhood is reported to be excellent.
Oats very promising. Corn not so good. It
is thought the hay crop will bo short Pota
toes look well. Winter apples scarce; early
apples plenty.
Business Outlook The outlook is good in
this locality.
Kochester.
Condition of Crops The wheat crop looks
well, also the rye, but aits will only be half
a crop, and the hay will be rather poor.
Apples and most all kinds of fruit and grapes
were injured by frost, and will drop off do
foro ripe. Corn is backward. Potatoes will
be O. K. if tho bugs permit.
Business Outlook Business is likely to
brighten up soon in its different branches; in
fact, it has done so, but there wilf not be
much done until after July, when the glass
factories boom again.
Uniontown.
Condition of Crops Oats, prospect is fair;

Wet Brownsville.
Condition of Crops Wheat is very good,
and will likely be over an average crop.
Oats looking much better than last year;
they will be pretty good. The grass crop
is looking muen better sinoo the last rains;
will not be as good as last year, but think it
will bo an average, crop. Corn is looking
well; think there will be a pretty good crop.
Potatoes are looking well; thero will be a
good crop.
Business Outlook For the industries of
our towns as well as the surrounding coun
ties there will but little change, except In
coal mining there may be a little-improvement.
Waynesburg.
Condition of Crops The present appear
ance is favorable to a good crop ot both
wheat and corn here. On account of dry
weather and frost the corn camo up uneven;
but the warm rains so revived it that it bids
fair for a good crop. The wheat is growing
finely, nnf reports indicate a good average
crop.
Business Outlook We believe the business
outlook is very good. The people seem
cheerful, and appear to be more guarded and
carelulin the managomentjof their anaiis
than usual. Greene county is particularly
adapted to grazing, and sheep and cattle aro
tho means whereby they chiefly procuro
their profits.
Washington.
Condition of Crops The wheat crop bids
fair to be above the averago. The lato
frosts in places may have injured it some.
There will be nearly an average yield of
hay. Oats, on account of backwaruncss of
spring, w ill not reach the yield of last year
perhaps. Tho fruit in places has suffered
boine irom frosts.
Business Outlook Everything seems pros
perous, and there is no reason to think that
the volume of business this year will not
equal that of last year.
OHIO.
Alliance.
Condition of Crops The prospect for
wheat is fair. There will be at least an aver
age crop. Oats are doing well, a full crop
will be liar vested if conditions remain fa vor
nble. Corn is a little behind, but is' now do
ing well. Tho outlook is good, and tho samo
may bo said of all grains. Grass will bo short
in growth, owing to the dry cold weather in
May, but recent rains have been favorablo
and an average crop may be expected. Fruit
of all kinds in some localities near here was
destroyed almost entirely by tho late frosts.
However, In oSier localities not much dam
ago as done. There w ill, on an average, bo
not more than otio-half a crop of npplcs.
Peaches will bo scarce. Tho same may bo
said of grapes mid plumbs. Cherries are re
pot ted plentif al in places. There will bo n
good crop of strawberries and other small
lrnit.
Business Outlook Tho business outlook is
fair. Collections aro very slow. More fail
ures have occurred in the last three months
than for a considerable period prior to that
time.
Belpre.
Condition of Crops Wheat crop Is splen
did, and the grass orop good. Corn was a
little baokward, but lots planted, and with
plenty of warm weather, and not too much
rain, thero will be a good crop. There will
be a good crop of apples, and a fair crop of
poaches, plums, grapes, etc. Prospects are
good for lots of potatoes.
Business Outlook This is somewhat en
couraging. While business has been no bet
ter thus far this year than last, yet, with the
present prospect for fruit and good crops, it
cannot help but improve all kinds of Dusi
ness. There are acres and acres of peas,
beans, tomatoes, etc., planted round about
here, all looking excellent.
Bellalre.
Condition of Crops Farmers are feeling
much more encouraged than they did a
month since. The dry weather of April
and first half of May became alarming, and
then tho freezing and cold weather was very
discouraging to the farming Interests. The
wheat was somewhat Injured by the frost in
May, but still is a fair average crop, or more
than this. Corn was not planted in usual
time, owing to the dry weather, but is doing
nicely now.. Oat grass is growing well now
and will be a fair crop, vegetables and all
kinds of fruit are fair crops.
Condition of Trade Trade is fair, and fac
tories are all running full and selling prod
nets, and ore generally prosperous and the
trade of the cijyis good. We have had but
one failure for a year a groceryman.
Cadiz.

the average. Corn promises an average
crop, and hay an exoellent one. Fruit hurt
by irost and below average 50 per cent.

Usual complaints of hard times among
grangers. Fair prices for wool will encour
age them. Banks slow to take deposits at
reduced interest. Large deposits.
Burg Hill.
Condition of Crops Wheat injured by
frost, and crop will average about 75 per
cent. Oats look well and good prospects,
amfthe same is true of com and potatoes.
Apples are about one-half of a crop, and

Business Outlook This from our stand
point is good, if we get a good crop.
Canton.
Condition of Crops. Wheat Is thought to
promise an average crop, with indications
of improvement by reason of late rains.
Thero is an increased acreage. Corn, oats
and grass all doing well now. Fruit was

not hurt.

business reverses, and manufacturers report
Sood sales, with collections a little slow.
:etail business has been quiet, but indica
tions are favorable for a good summer trade.
Our people are of the opinion that the busi
ness outlook is favorablo.
Carrollton.
Condition of Crops Crops sown last fall
in this county in the early spring presented
a more than usual prosperous appearance,
but on account of late frosts the wheat is in
jured fully one-third. Kye and other grain
sown in the fall is injured one-third or more.
Tho present weather is favorable, but will
not restore the crops to the average of other
years. Spring crops present a very favora
ble appearance, and.ir not Injured hereafter,
will be an average crop. Fruit of all kinds is
almost an entire failure by reason of late
frosts.
Business Outlook Xot as good as usual at
this time of year. Farmers are somowhat
discouraged, and are therefore withholding
their custom from business men.
Canal Fulton.
Condition of Crops The wheat crop
through this section has been considerably
improved by the late frosts, though on the
high lands there will be an average crop.
In the low and sandy grounds about one
third crop; we estimate about two-thirds of
a crop. Oats were never better. Corn a
little backward, and prospects fair for a
good crop. Grass good. Other crops very
good. Fruit about one-half average yield.
Businpss Outlook Fair. Money is close;
collections are hard to make, yet there is no
litigations or failures. Taking into con
sideration that' this is a mining and farming
district with a stringency in money the
prospects are good.
Caldwell.
Condition of Crops There will be an aver
age crop of wheat and oats. Grass will yield
well. Fair prospect for corn. The late
frosts damaged the fruit, but not to the ex
tent anticipated. -
Business Outlook Tho outlook is fairly
good and more brisk than at this period last
year, but the crops and business will depend
upon the season later on.
Leesvillo.
Condition of Crops Wheat very good; corn
good; oats ordinary; hay, SO per cent.

one-half crop. Cherries, full crop. Grapes,
fair crop.
Business Ontlook Business of all kinds is

mills working steadily. Building improve
ments beyond any year for five or six years
past. Quito a stir all along the line.
Martin's Ferry.
Prospects of Crops Wheat, 80 per cent of
a crop; oats, 10 to 50 per cent of a crop. Too
early to predict on corn and potatoes, but
they are backward owing to cold and wet
weather. Apples good on hills, say 75 to SO
per cent, and mostly killed on low ground;
pears the same; cherries and plums killed;
strawberries, 7a per cent of a crop; raspber
ries show a prospect of a crop of SO per cent.
Condition of Trade Xot rushing and yet
not bad.

per cent of average. All fruits promise
well.
Business Outlook Business and building
are brisk, and there is a marked improve
ment in all kinds of trade.
Massllion.
Condition of Crops Wheat about two
thirds of an average crop. Thirty days ago
tho prospects were very bright, but the
frosts and drv weather of about three weeks
ago did much damage to the wheat. Oats
only fair and corn is doing well, but late.
Fruit about one-fourth of an average crop.
For potatoes the prospects are only fair.
Business Outlook 1 ery poor. Merchants
complain money is scarco and interest going
up. Sales of merchandise are slow. This
nrobably would be true if crops were rood.
lor business was light all spring, when the
crop prospects were first-class.
Mineral Point.
Condition of Crops Wheat in some locali
ties injured by late frosts, but may be up to
the average. Oat3 will be short, but with
favorable weather from now on will yet
make a fair crop, with similar prospocts for
hay. Corn started late, but is doing well
now. Fruit badly injured by frosts, but on
high lands thero will be some fruit of nil
kinds.

bringing a fair price. Wool is quiet yet, but
may open out ail right.

improved, but the general business has not
more than an average outlook.
New Philadelphia.
Condition of Crops Wheat is a full aver
age in quantity and average looking, and if
weather is Javorable a full crop willbe har
vested in about three weeks. Prices likely to
be high. Corn, on account of the dry
weather in May, is in backward condition,
but it has within the last week exhibited
marked improvement, and with favorable
weather the prospect for a full crop is good.
In wool a full average product is now being
sheared, but no sales heard of. It is, how-'
ever, expected the prices will range about as
last year.
Business Outlook There is every reason
to believe that tho volume of business-the
coming fall will be large. The farmers in
this vicinity are In a prosperous condition,
and with full crops soon to be realized it is
expected that their purchases will be larger
this year than for many j'ears past.
NUes, O.
Condition of Crops During the early seed
ing time and for some time thereafter the
weather was unfavorable, cold and dry, but
timely rains and warm weather have had a
good effect. All crops are beginning to

appear favorable, and unless some unfore
seen accident bofalls us we will have a good
busmcss the cominz year.

ter crop than for several years. Frost hurt
wheat on low grounds. Slightly more than
usual was sown last fall. Oats look well,
with about average amount sown. Corn back
wardthe result of drouth; more planted
than last year. Hay, prospects fine. Fruit
all killed on low grounds.

crops ana stock.
North Jackson.
Condition of Crops Wheat is short, but is
heading well, and prospects are that we will
have as good a crop as in 1890. Com is poor.
Farmors expect only half crop of corn. Oats
promise to be an average yield. There was
a great deal of oats and corn sowed in this
section. Potatoes are looking well. Hay
will be more than an average crop. Peaches,
apples and pears will be a half crop only.
Berries and mall traits are an average crop.
Wheat straw is very short, but is heading
well. It was yellow from cold weather, but
is getting a better color now and promises
well.
Business Outlook For this immediate
neighborhood in Mahoning county will say
we nave brighter outlook than ever. Farm
ers and merchants all ore encouraged. Great
deal of building going on, and in Jaokson
township eight large bank barns are in
course of erection. Money can be got at 4
per cent, the first time in so years.
Quaker City.
Condition of Crops Wheat is in excellent
condition; the finest prospect we have had
for several years; acreage larger than last
year. Com. while small, is in healthy con
dition, and indications now are that we will
have an unusually large crop. Have never
known the acreage larger than this season.
Oats in good condition. Tobacco is now
being planted, and will have about the usual
acreage for this section. Fruit from one-half
to two-thirds crop. Hay and pasture very
good.
Business Outlook Fair. Our farmers are
making an unusually strong effort this year
and feel encouraged over th e prospect
for good crops and fair prioes, so that we
feel very much elated with the outlook for
business. We think the prospect 'better
than for several years past, as our farmers
are going to work in earnest.
Shaneaville.
Condition of Crops Wheat crop good.
Oats, prospocts good. Corn is short, but
looks healthy, and with good or fair weather
we can expoot a good crop. Potatoes, pros
pects good. Vegetables of all kinds are in a
good growing condition. Apples will not be
plenty. There will be a fair crop of peaches
and ohorries." In fact, the prospects for
everything but apples are good. The wool
crop is Increased since last year. Our Swiss
cheese factories are Increasing in capacity.
Business Outlook Good.
Sallneville.
Condition of Crops Wheat Is in excellent
condition; the yield will be greater than last
year or year before. Corn and oats are back
ward, but healthy, and present indications
point to a fair orop. The grass is short and
thin generally; the hay crop will conse
quently be short. Fruit was generally killed
on the low grounds and somewhat injured
on the higher ground; there will probably be
a half crop, however.
Business Outlook Coal business here has
been very dull since the 1st of May, but indi
cations are bright for a good fall trade.
Business in all departments is stagnant,
but there seems to be a feeling all around
thatit will improve much in the near futare.
Steubenville, O.
Condition of Crops The wheat and hay
are doing excellently, and we think lare
going to yield a large crop. Corn and oats
are very backward, owing to lack of rain in
May and cold nights following the coming of
rain, but are growing nicely under the warm
sun of the last few days and promise their
usual abundance. The small fruits were
somewhat hurt with frost, but seem to be re
blooming, and are doing well in some parts
of our county. The larger fruits are doing
fairly well, and while hurt by the frost will
yield about the ordinary crop.
Business Outlook The trade hpre is fair,
and was excellent earlier. More demand for
Broperty than at any time for several years,
onsiderable building is going on and work
seems to bo plenty. Nothing here In nature
of a boom, but a quiet, steady growth.
Uhrichsville.
Condition of Crops Fruit nearlv all killed
with late frosts. Com in poor condition,
and fair prospects for other crops.
Business Outlook The prospect is about
as it was this time Inst year. While
no. great increase is anticipated, we do not
expect any decrease. The fire day industry
is the chief one here, and tho demand for
the product seems to increase, with prices
a little better than last year.
Washington.
Condition of Crops The outlook for the
potato crop is most excellent.' The;com
crop bids fair. Wheat is very good. The
fruit all killed on lowlands, hat good outlook
on tho upland orchards. Meadows are grow
ing fast and will cut a good swath: Oats are
fair.
Business Outlooki-Of course, if crops are
good here, as this is principally an agricul
tural community, business will be fair. Tho
Farmers' Alliance movement will, to a cer
tain extent, injuro business. They set the
people at a state of unrest and dissatisfac
tion. "Warren.
Condition of Crops Oats are looking well,
and a good crop is expected. Corn, though
late, is now growing finely, and looks fair
for good crop. Wheat was badly hurt by
last heavy frost, and it must be short, so
farmers say. Apples, grapes and pears
nearly all killed by last lrost. Peaches not
hurt so badly, and will bo a fair crop. Grass
was also hurt badly, but the late rains are
thickening up tho bottom with new heavy
growth, which bids fair for a good hay crop
after all, unless too dry weather should ter
minate its growth too soon. Potatoes, for
the first time in years, are free from potato
bugs, and a good crop must result this year,
for they look fine and are growing wonder
fully. With tho exception of wheat and
fruits it promises to be an excellent season
for crops.
Business Outlook In this city business is
booming in every line, and every man is
employed. Business in this county, too, is
good generally, and thero are no dead
places. Every one of our works is solid and
doing well, with no exception. Money is
easier and plentler than two months ago,
and loans are now being solicited.
Tonngstown.
Condition of Crops Generally in this
county they are encouraging. Wheat has
been to some extent injured by late frosts,
but will be a fair orop. Oats and corn
promise to bo more than an averago yield.
Fruits are going to be short. The frosts in
May have killed peaches and all apples but
the late ones. Small fruits are also injured.
Business Outlook Tho blast furnaces are
opening again, and this fact alone creates
more business in this valley, ltailioad
freights are in consequence increasing and
the iron outlook is better. Most mechanics
are on strike, however, and trade Is very
dull on account of the scarcity of money
among laboring classes. On tho whole
trade is not in a satisfactory condition.
but the outlook is unquestionably better
than it was a few weeks ago. Collections
very slow.
Zanesvllle.
Condition of Crops Wheat excellent. It
is now out in head, Is very strong, good

WEST VIRGINIA.
Wheeling.
General crop and trade reports from a dis
trict comprising 27 counties in Western West
Virginia and border counties of Ohio, show
altogether a good crop prospect, and while
trade is reported dull in some sections
there is usually a local cause for such de
pression; and generally there Is anticipated
an improvement during the summer and
fall. The continued dry and cold weather
during the early part of the season, coupled
with the May frost which, while not as se
vere as at first reported, seems to have been
very general has lelt its mark, princi
pally on the fruits, of which there will not be
more than a half crop of any kind, and some
varieties have suffered still more, especially
grapes, which nt somo points are reported a
completo failure.
The railroad operations in the interior of
the State during the past year have been of
more importance and more -oxtensivo than
at any t me in tho -past, and that, together
with tho oil developments, has brought con
siderable foreign capital into the State, and
the interior is being rapidly made aocessible
to business enterprise.
In Wheeling the improvement is steady
and certain. Wholesale houses report a
larger volume of business than at a corre
sponding period in nny previous year.though
collections are rather slow, but as wool
moves moie freely in the country and farm
ers get .some money thero may be an im
provement looked for in this respect.

Prospocts of Crops Tho prospect is that
every crop will be good, oxcept it be the hay
crop. Wheat, corn, potatoes and all fruits
here look as though we shall have fine crops.
Condition of Trade Trade is not good,
money is scarce, our people are greatly in
debted, and every term of court brings an
end to the business career of from three to
six farmers by a public sale of tneirianas.
Agriculture is depressed. This, of course,
makes business dull for all other classes, ex
cept, perhaps, the lawyers.
Brooke County.
Prospects of Crops Wheat prospect very
fine and about the average acreage. Corn
and oat crops a little short for the season,
but with favorable conditions the balance of
Sear will be a good crop. There is a flatter

toes have a large acreage, with prospect for
good crop. There winbe a light crop of
small fruits. Scarcely omvhalf crop of large
fruit. Grapes nearly a failure.
Condition of Trade At the present time

Prospects of Crops Wheat promises well.
Corn is starting well. Large acreage In corn

Mason County.
Prospects of Crops The prospects have in
creased since the late rains. Corn is looking
well and promises an average orop. Wheat
will be a two-thirds crop, oats a half crop
and hay about one-half crop. Potatoes will
give a full crop from present outlook. Tho

to maKO a iuu average crop.

but at a time when replanting could be

Wheat is doing well and will yield good
returns.
Condition of Trade Trade is not as brisk
as usual at this season of year, but stocks
are kept up jn anticipation of good crops,
and more recently business has livened, with
anticipation of continuous good trade. Col
lections are somewhat tardy In instances,
but in the general run are promptly made
and general conditions are good.

Condition of Trade Fair.
Tyler County.
Prospects of Crops Prospects for crops in
this neighborhood, owing to the early
drought and other reasons, are for not more
than a half crop. The wheat is short and
very thin on the ground. The frost and
drought both injured it some. Oats willbe
a light crop. Hay will be a half crop. It
has been too cold for corn to do much good
bnt it may yet come out all right. We
will have a large crop of apples and small
fruit of all kinds. The frost injured fruit
some, but still left enough on the trees to
make more than an average crop. Potatoes
will be a good crop if the weather is favor
able from this on. Taking everything .into
consideration this year the fanners will
have fair crops all around.
Condition of Trade Most of our people
who are tradesmen complain of dull times,
but for the particular reason why this is so
we cannot telL There seems to be a lack of
money, and those who have it do not seem
to bo inclined to use it to any extent. Wool,
in this county is a large nrticle of commerce,
but is moving off very slowly, for the want
of buyers and on account of tho low price
offered for it. The highest price being
offered is 25 cents a pound. We would,
therefore, say that trade is ohly moderately
good here.

Prospects of Crops The grass Is short for

depth of 2.200 feet, but the sand and only
showing of oil was found at 1,509 feet, at
which depth it was torpedoed, but salt water
has destroyed tho showing of oil. The sec
