Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-06-22

The iron business seems to be overdone, and
as this part of the valley is considerably
dependent upon that branch of trade it is
seriously affected by it. The glass business
is some better but is not what it should be.
GAINESVILLE.
Rather less than average amount OF wheat.
The condition of upland and sandy crop is
good. Corn is from to 10 inches high,
color good and prospects fair. Oats good.
Wool is selling for 80 to 80 cents. Last
year the same wools brought but % to 27
cents per pound. Building in GAINESVILLE is
active.
Newcomerstown.
Corn is backward, caused by cold weather,
but looks we'll and with favorable fall will
be full crop. Wheat never was better.
Oats short on the straw, but will be fair
crop.
The business outlook is not better than
last year at this time. Farmers are not sell
ing wool at 80 cents as readily as formerly.
SciO.
Very good prospects for all crops but oats,
which is moderate.
The business outlook for Scio is very good.
Farmers complain of low prices for stock
and farm products generally; but with the
fine prospects of growing crops the outlook
is cheering,
Marietta.
Wheat prospect is good. Corn just getting
started, with prospects of good crop.
The business outlook is fair.
Canton.
Every indication is favorable to a prom
Using and large crop. Corn is little slow,
but improving.
We have had q successful year in all
lines of business. Failures have been small
and few, and everything points to great
prosperity.
Cdnal Fulton.
Wheat crop is good, except in low lands
Corn has been poor until the last week, but
is looking better Prospects never were more
favorable for good crops. Oats and barley
good. Grass good.
The business outlook is now better from
the fact that the mines are running steady,
there being a better demand for coal, and
no prospects of strikes.
New Philadelphia.
Wheat is in an unusually promising con-
dition and full average yield is confident
ly expected. Corn has a good stand, and
the prospect of an average crop is good.
Oats look remarkably well, with heavy
growth, and large yield is expected.
With the largely increased production of
crops, which it is believed will be realized,
the merchants here confidently believe that
the volume of business this season will be
larger than for several years.
Crops of all kinds are in excellent condi-
tion, and if they suffer no injury between
now and harvest there will be full crops
rather above the average.
Business prospects are fair for this vicin-
ity. Sewer pipe and fire brick works are
running full time.
Guernsey County.
Wheat is looking we'll and will make
three-fourths of crop unless the weevil
damages it yet. Oats are doing well. There
was good acreage sowed. The late favora-
BILE weather is bringing out all the crops,
and will improve the hay crop very much.
The business outlook is very fair, work
having commenced here on the Pittsburg,
CadIz and Ohio Railroad, which will be
completed 20 the Cleveland, Lorain and
Wheeling Railroad from the Baltimore and
Ohio this fall.
Belmont County.
Generally the crop prospects in this coun-
ty are fair, and the prospects are for fair
average crop in grain, corn, etc., and berries
and other small fruits will be plentiful.
The business outlook is satisfactory, and
dealers generally look for a satisfactory con-
dition OF trade.
