North jackson.
Condition of Crops-Wheat is short, but is
heading well, and prospects are that we will
have as good crop as in 1890. Corn is poor.
Farmers expect only half crop of corn. Goats

a great deal of oats and corn sowed in this
section. Potatoes are looking we'll. Hay

apples and pears will be a half crop only.
Berries and small fruits are an average crop.

Quaker City.
Condition of Crops-Wheat is in excellent
condition; the finest prospect we have had
for several years; acreage larger than last
year. Corn, while small, Is in healthy con-
dition, and indications now are that we will
have an unusually large crop. Have never
known the acreage larger than this season.
Oats in good condition. Tobacco is now
being planted, and will have about the usual
acreage for this section. Fruit from one-half
to two-thirds crop. Hay and pasture very
good

SalineviIle.
Condition of Crops-Wheat Is in excellent
condition; the yield will be greater than last
ward, but healthy, and present indications
point to a fair crop. The grass is short and
thin generally; the hay crop will conse.
quently be short. Fruit was generally killed
on the low grounds and somewhat injured
on the higher ground; there will probably be
a half crop, however.
Business Outlook-Coal business here has
been very dull since the 1st of May, but indi-
cations are bright for a good fall trade.
Business in all departments is stagnant,
but there seems to be feeling all around
that1t will improve much in the near future.
Steubenville, o.
Condition of Crops-The wheat and hay
are doing excellently, and we think hare
are very backward, owing to lack of rain IN
May and cold nights following the coming Of
rain, but are growing nicely under the warm
sun OF the last few days and promise their
somewhat hurt with frost but seem to be re-
blooming, and are doing well in some parts
of our county. The larger fruits are doing
fairly well, and while hurt by the frost will
yield about the ordinary crop.
Business Outlook-The trade here Is fair,
and was excellent earlier. More demand for
property than at any time for several years.

-Uhrichsville.
Condition of Crops-Fruit nearly all killed
with late frosts. Corn in poor condition,
and fair prospects for other crops.
Business Outlook-The prospect is about
as it was this time last year. While
no great increase is anticipated, we do not
expect any decrease. The fire clay industry
is the chief one here, and the demand for
the product seems to increase, with prices
q little better than last year.
Washington.
Condition of Crops-The outlook for the
potato crop is most excellent. The corn
crop bids fair. Wheat is very good. The
fruit all killed on lowlands, but good outlook
on the upland orchards. Meadows are grow
ing fast and will cut good swath: Oats are
fair.
Business OutlookAOf COURSE If crops are
good here, as this is principally an agricul-
tural community, business will be fair. The
Farmers Alliance movement will, to GER
tain extent, injure business. They set the
people at a state of unrest and dissatisfac-
lion.
Condition of Crops-Oats are looking well.
and a good crop is expected. Corn, though
late, is now growing finely, and looks fair
for good crop. Wheat was badly hurt by
last heavy frost, and it must be short, so
nearly all Killed BY last frost Peaches not
hurt so badly, and will be fair crop. Grass
was also hurt badly, but the late rains are
up the bottom with new heavy
growth, which bids fair for good hay crop
after ali, unless too dry weather should ter
inmate it's growth too soon. Potatoes, for
the first time in years, are free from potato
bugs, and good crop must result this year,
for they look fine and are growing wonder
fully. With the exception of wheat and
fruits it promises to be an excellent season
for crops.

Business in this county, too, is
good generally, and there are no dead
places. Every one of our works Is solid and
easier and plentier than two months ago,
and loans are now being solicited.
Youngstown.
Condition of Crops-GeneralIy in this
county they are encouraging. Wheat has
been to some extent injured by late frosts,
but will be fair crop. Oats and corn
promise to be more than an average yield
Fruits are going to be short. The frosts in
May have Killed peaches and all apples but
the late ones. Small fruits are also injured.
Business Outlook-The blast furnaces are
opening again, and this fact alone creates
more business in this valley. Railroad
freights are in consequence increasing and
she iron outlook is better. Most mechanics
lul on account of the scarcity of money
among laboring classes. On the whole
;rade is not in a satisfactory condition,
out the outlook is unquestionably better
