may be noted. In dry goods and some
other branches that do not come under
the head necessities, Il very quiet condi-
ton prevails. In grain and flour there
has been a reaction. The demand for
the manufactured article has :allen of and
little disposition prevails to buy at pres
ent quotations. Wheat is as high now
as it has been since the rise and y feeling
exists that it will stay at about present
figures. Very little is coming in and the
farmers show no desire to sell. There is
no doubt that before any considerable
transactions take place the producer will
desire to know, as near us possible, the
condition of the coming crops.
From the many conflicting reports
which are daily received, it is very diff
cult TO ascertain the amount of damage
done to the grain and fruit crops. In
sections Of the county remote from our
Panhandle, more particularly North and
West Of Us, the later reports are encour-
aging, while through our own state, and
in the region round about, including
Belmont county, Ohio and Washington
county, Pennsylvania, the prospects for
an average crop of wheat looks favorable,
but for fruit, such as apples, peaches and
Strawberries the farmers and gardeners
give gloomy accounts of the obstruction
thereof, and that very small proportion
of the amount necessary to supply the
Wheeling market, will be raised here
abouts this season. A letter from
Hackers Valley Webster county, dated
the 7th instant. states: The late
cold snap killed all the fruit, and it IS
believed injured the wheat considerably.
That the farmers in Lewis and Bra1ton
counties are plowing up their wheat
fields and planting them in corn; the
price of the former jumping up as high
as $500 per buahel. Vegetation IS a
month later than usual, and a great many
farmers will be unable to plant their corn
this month Rather an unpleasant
outlook for Webster sure enough
In conversation with farmer residing
on Short Creek Ohio County, he believes
that the wheat is considerably injured on
all the land in that locality; on his own
farm. he says if he gets Is bushels to the
acre, he will be doing well. However
the general outlook is decidedly better
now than week ago, and with favors.
bic weather, still better feeling may be
anticipated.
