Wheat is doing well and will yield good

good. Grass is short. Corn looks favorable.

Prospect of Crops-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 half crop. The wheat is short and
very thin on the ground. The frost and
drought both injured it some. Oats will be
a light crop. Hay will be a half crop 1t
has been too cold for corn to do much good
but it may yet come out all right. We
will have large crop of app apples es,s and small
some, but still left enough on the trees to
make more than an average crop. Potatoes
will be good crop if the weather is favor
able from this on. Taking everything into
consideration this year the farmers will
have fair crops all around.
Condition Of Trade-Most Of our people
VINO are CraQeSInen complain OF Qull ClmeS,
but for the particular reason why this is so
we cannot tell. There seems to be lack of
money, and those who have it do not seem
to be inclined to use it to any extent Wool
in this county is a large article of commerce,
but is moving off very slowly, for the want
of buyers and on account of the low price
offered for it. The highest price being
offered is % cents a pound. We would,
therefore, say that trade Is only moderately
good here.
Tucker County.
Prospects of Crops-The grass is short for
the season, owing to late drouth. Wheat
somewhat shortened from same cause, though
it promises favorable for an average CROP
Corn, oats and potatoes promises well.
Condition of Trade-Business is holding its
own nicely, and can report no marked
changes.
Upshur County.
Prospects of Crops-The prospect for all
kinds of crops and fruits is fair. The late
frost was damaging, but there is enough left.
Condition of Trade-Rather dull, for the
reason that money is now, as it always is at
this season, scarce.

Prospects of Crops-Corn and oats look
well: hay will be about one-half crop; yery
little wheat is raised in this county.
Writ County.

average crop; wheat is promising an extra |
yield; corn Is just u little backward for the |
season; and an average acreage of each was |
planted. Fruit will be a little over one-half |
crop, being much injured by the May frosts. |
Condition of Trade-Fairly good for this |
season of the year.
