Butler.
Condition of Crops-Wheat will be some
what better than an average crop and the
same may be said of rye. Oats look fair. Corr
somewhat backward and it is too early tC
prophesy much about it, but on the whole
looks as well as could be expected. Hay will
fall somewhat below an average crop, and
potatoes will do well. The plague of the
Colorado beetle has been greatly mitigated
in comparison with previous years. A faiI
yield OF fruit is expected.
Business Outlook-ReaSonably fair. There
promises to be plenty of work for mechanics
and laboring men generally. Oil develop.
ments and operations decidedly languid at
present. Money does not appear to be SO
plenty, and collections are slower than at
The same time last year.
Big Run.
Condition of Crops-The general outlook
is good. The grass will be q fair average
crop Oats looks exceedingly well. Corn is
small, but is picking up nicely, and a few
warm rains will insure good general crop.
some of the fruit along the low valleys was
damaged by late frostS, but on the high
grounds the outlook Is such as Will guaran-
zee large crop. In fact, apples, pears,
ounces, etc, are the largest for Years.
business outlook-At present fair. The
general stores have done good spring busi-
nes-. Collections are Il little slow, and the
lumbeInIen and iobbers have not fully re-
covered from the bad winter of lss9-9O
BeIIevernon.
Condition of Crops-Wheat will be excel
lent. if nothing happens. Oats short, but
they stand well. Corn the same. Apples in
uh;Edancc, peaches short, pears short, cher
lics plentiful, grapes good.
Business Outlook-iSood. Money is plenty
ana the outlook is good Farmers are get
ting better prices now than this time last
wear or Ior several years, and are doing more
Improving and buying more agricultural
implements of better and more improved
quality.
Canonsburg.
Condition OF Crops-Wheat up 20, if not
above, the average. Oats short at present,
int well SET. with promise of an average
crop Corn looks well, and, while small at
present will no doubt come out all right,
and promises good crop. Grass crop large;
meadows were looking badly just previous
to iho late rains but think the rain came in
time to save them. Hay will be an average
crop.
Business sOutlook-Rather quietat present,
but think the outlook rather hopeful. Col
lrctipns very hard to make. Not much
building going on at present, yet the inquiry
Tor building lots is above the usual at this
season.
Condition Of Crops-Wheat is looking fine,
and promises to be more than an average
crop. Oats promise well, but not as large an
acreage as last year. Corn, SO far, is growing
linely and IA full acreage. Grass crop will be
abundant. ON the whole, the crop outlook
is very promising and the farmers are salts
lied with the prospects.
Business 0utlook-Is little dull. Wool
moving OF at SOC. Merchants, however, an
ticipate a fair summer trade, and have
stocked up to meet their expectations.
Farmers are getting better prices all around,
but bad debts, mortgages, etc., are keeping
money matters close.
Freedom.
Condition OF Crops-The outlook for all
kinds OF crops is very good at present. Hay
looked a little bad during the dry spell, but
the prospects are now that we will have a
ND 1,.Nl-
well. Corn and oats, the farmers say, will do
very well il nothing happens later on. Po-
tatoes look nice, but will be later than
usual. Taken altogether, there is no danger
OF any scarcity in our neighborhood. Fruit
Will be good, with rev exceptions.
Business 0utlook-Business has been
strikes and other causes, but it is improving
some now, and we look for better business
the coming fall. Collections are rather slow.
Greensburg.
Condition of Crops-Throughout West
:noreiand county all the crops promise well.
Corn is short, owing to the cold, late spring.
Grass will be good but old meadows may be
short. Wheat is an excellent stand and viii
he, if it ripens without being blown down, a
very large crop. Vegetables have a strong
set and are good. Potatoes were never
bntter-no bugs to destroy and of late suf-
acient rain to nourish them. While tine
Iruit was injured by lato frosts there will be
enough for the need of the people and to
spare.
Business Outlook-with the settlement of
the great strike in the coke region and
resumption of work the old time prosperity
has come again. While the builders and
mechanics strike has had the effect of pre-
venting much building il is hoped the early
capital in this direction. There are no great
5ooms but substantial prosperity. Money
Is abundant and investments easy.
Galitzin.
Condition of Crops-The protracted dry
weather of May destroyed the prospects of
z hay crop. The cold nights in the first half
Of June hsve been detrimental to the corn
crop. Rye and wheat are likely to be good
crop. Early oats will be a medium crop;
late OILS a failure. The prospects for fruit
were never better. Berries OF all kinds are
abundant.
Business Outlook-The business outlook
in IllIs vicinity is not at all f1attering. The
dread OF the eight-hOur strike had a damp
rn'ng impression on industries hereabouts.
The coal mines are all being operated, but
are only doing half work. The coke trade is
in advance of the coal. Business in the
north and south of this county is far in ad-
vance OF any other portion. A new railroad
is being put through the northern portion OF
the county that is giving work to great
many men,
Hastings.
Condition of Crops-Wheat in the northern
part of Cambria county is good, better than
Tor years; rye, good; oats, fair: hay not as
good as last year. All fruits are in better
condition than for years.
Business Outlook-The spring is very dull
ana 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 found the wheat crop unusually good,
not so thick on the ground some seasons,
Dut well filled, that the yield, both in
quality and quantity, will be better than for
years. The corn is backward from the cold
spring, but is now rapidly recovering lost
ground, the weather being all that could be
desired. Oats will be average, and the
result in potatoes will be immense from
present appearances. The price may be
lower than 81 80 per bushel next winter.
There viii also be an abundance of fruit of
al sorts.
Business Outlook-I do not see why bust
ness should be dull, as there are plenty of
enterprises on hand. The folly of the me
cnanic in striking for eight hours has
checked building materially, but suppose
that cannot be helped.
Indiana.
Condition Of Crops-Wheat crop very
promising; will be far above tine average
Bye in good growing condition. Oats com
ing on very fast. Corn somewhat retarded
