fair. Collections are very slow. More fail
ures have occurred in the last three months
than for considerable period prior to that
time.
Belpre.
Condition of Crops-wheat crop is splen-
did, and the grass Drop good. Corn was q
little backward, but lots planted, and with
plenty of warm weather, and not too much
rain, there will be a good crop. There will
be good crop of apples, and fair crop OF
peaches, plums, grapes, etc. Prospects are
good for lots of potatoes.
Business Outlook-This is somewhat en-
couraging. While business has been no bet
ter thus far this year than last, yet, with the
present prospect for fruit and good crops, 1t
cannot help but improve all kinds of busi-
ness. There are acres and acres OF peas,
beans, tomatoes, ETC., planted round about
here, all looking excellent.
Bellaire.
Condition of Crops-Farmers are feeling
much more encouraged than they did q
month since. The dry weather of April
and first half of May became alarming, and
then the freezing and cold weather was very
discouraging to the farming interests. The
wheat was somewhat injured by the frost in
May, but still is a fair average crop, OF more
than this: Corn was not planted IN usual
time, owing to the dry weather, but is doing
and will be a fair crop. Vegetables and all
kinds of fruit are fair crops.
Condition of Trade-Trade is fair, and fac
tOr1es are dn anu ecll1IB pIOU-
nets, and are generally prosperous and the
trade of the cilyis good. We have had but
one failure for year-a groceryman.

Condition of Crops-Wheat good, above
the average. Corn promises an average
crop, and hay an excellent one. Fruit hurt
by frost and below average 80 per cent.
Business Outlook-Fair. Collections slow.
Usual complaints of hard times among
grangers. Fair prices for wool will encour.
Gge them. Banks slow to take deposits at
reduced interest. Large deposits.
Burg Hill.
Condition of Crops-Wheat injured by
frost, and crop will average about IS per
cent. Oats look well and good prospects,
andsthe same is true of corn and potatoes:
Apples are about one-half of crop, and
small fruits a nearly total loss by frost
Business Outlook-This from our stand
point is good, if We get good crop.
Canton
Condition of Crops-Wheat is thought to
promise an average crop, with indications
of improvement by reason of late rains.
There is an increased acreage. Corn, oats
and grass all doing well now. Fruit was
hurt to some extent by frost, butapples were
not hurt.
Business Outlook-we have had but few
business reverses, and manufacturers report
good sales, with collections little slow.
Retail business has been quiet, but indica-
tions are favorable for good summer trade.
Our people are of the opinion that the DuSl-
ness outlook is favorable.
CarroIlton.
Condition of Crops-Crops sown last fall
in this county in the early spring presented
more than usual prosperous appearance,
but on account of late frosts the wheat is In
jured fully one-third. Rye and other grain
sown in the fall is injured one-third or more.
The present weather is favorable, but Will
notrestore the crops to the average OF other
years. Spring crops present very favora-
BILE appearance, and, II not INJURED hereafter,
will be an average crop. Fruit OF all kinds Is
almost an entire failure by reason OF late
frosts.
Business Outlook-Not as good as usual at
this time of year. Farmers are somewhat
and are therefore Withholding
their custom from business men.

good. Fruit about one-half average yield.

collections are hard to make, yet there is no

sideration that this is a mining and farming
district with a stringency in money the
prospects are good

well. Fair prospect for corn. The late
frosts damaged the fruit, but not to the e1-

good and more brisk than at this period last
year, but the crops and business will depend
upon the season later on.

crop prospects were frSt-claSS.
