wheat crop, still it is in no danger yet and
if weather clears up there will be good
wheat crop. The outlook for corn is good.
Hay is very good.
Wool is ut better price than for years.
Timber is in good demand and at good
prices The business prospects are good.
Fairmsnt.
Wheat is in excellent condition, but if
the heavy rains continue it will no doubt in
lure it some. Grass also is excellent in this
county. Corn is not doing we'll. 1t has
been too wet. Unless there is change in
the weather soon there will not be an aver
age crop. Wheat, oats and grass Will be
considerably above the average.
The business outlook is not extra. We
are having some business on account of the
building of Monongahela Railroad, but our
mines are not running much and there
seems to be no prospects of their resuming
full operations soon.
New Martinsville.
Corn is backward, wheat excellent and
rains are iniuring crops. but if drier weather
should shortly come on everything would
be all right.
Business is duller this year than last.
Our merchants seem to be doing fair busi-
ness, but there is not the slightest prospect
Of boom In anything.
Addison.
Oats and wheat in this section of the
State are good. Corn looks we'll, but the
heavy rain has prevented the farmers from
working it.
The business outlook in this county is
good.
Nannington.
Wheat was never in better condition in
this section. Oats fine. Corn very back
ward, but it has good stand. The heavy
continuous rains up to this date have been
very injurious to wheat and corn.
In this country business depends on the
condition of the roads. Instead of drying
up, as usual at this time, they are as bad as
at any time last winter. They have had a
bad effect on business, of course.
Winfield.
There is good stand of corn and about
the usual average of oats. Wheat is above
the average crop and looking well and more
than the usual average.
Business is dull and nothing promising in
our county.
Parkersburg.
The acreage is considered up to the aver
age. Grass is abundant, under frequent
rains, but danger is feared for the wheat
from rust, unless clearer weather shall pre-
vail. A large acreage of corn is planted
and bids fair for large yield, unless unfavor-
able weather occurs. Prospects are for an
average yield of all crops.
Trade has been quiet for several months
and now seems to be slow. Merchants re-
port slow collections and sales reduced.
Wheeling.
The continued rain this season, while it
has been detrimental to some crops, has been
favorable to others, and as yet there is no
serious damage to be noted on account of
wet weather. Hay will be an>exceptionally
good crop. Wheat looks very promising,
and if we do not have too much rain before
harvest to cause rust, the prospects are for
good average crop. Corn has been retarded
by the wet and is not as far advanced as it
should be at this season, but good growing
weather will bring it on all right and insure
at least an average yield.
The heavy and continued rains we have
experienced, have proven beneficial in most
sections of the State in bringing out timber
from the small mountain streams, some OF
which has been lying there for years. Most
of the country merchants in this State are
interested directly or indirectly in the lum-
Der business, and the getting out of this tim
Der will put in circulation considerable
money. The general tone of business is
hopeful, and while merchants and manufact-
urers do not look for any decided ''boom,'
they anticipate legitimate and satisfactory
