has not been as good for 20 years.
Business Outlook-Good. This when the
crops begin to be harvested and grain mar
ern and northern portions of the county will
stimulate business very much.
Johnstown.
Condition of Crops-The general outlook
in this vicinity is good. The Indications are
that the hay, wheat and rye crop will be
well under the influence of the recent needed
refreshing rains. Corn, owing to the
droughts during April and the early portion
of May, is very backward. The fruit crop,
both large and small, bids fair to be an ex-
cellent one, and the farmer finds a ready
market right for his entire product, what
ever it may be.
Business Outlook-Business is below the
average of previous years. This is caused
by several reasons. First, the stringent
money market which has prevailed since
last fall, has caused a decline in the price of
the products of our manufactures, which
caused a reduction of wages. This naturally
affected all branches of business. Several
large amounts of money have been invested
and used in rebuilding the waste places
made by the great food OF 1889, and while
adding to the permanent wealth of the COM
munity the money is temporarily from the
channels Of business. However, ALL al things Sd
the prospects of the coming season are
somewhat better than the past has been.
Kttanning.
Condition of Crops-Looking well. Pros
poets are for more than an average yield of
wheat. Hay will be little short owing to
month are bringing on corn, oats andpota-
toes, and indications now point to good
yield. Fruit will be plenty. In some places
the frost hurt it, but reports from farmers
are that there will be plenty of fruit such as
apples, peaches and cherries.
Business Outlook-Everything points to an
encouraged by the good prospects of crops,
and our merchants expect good trade.
Leechburg.
Condition of Crops Wheat looks well;
prospects are good for large crop. Oats look
well. Grass fair crop, but not so large as
$780, Corn looks fairly well; can't tell now,
as July and August complete.
Business Outlook-Only fair prospects for
good fall trade in this community. The
farmers generally are feeling very hopeful
as to the crops.
Mount Pleasant.
Condition of Crops-The crops in and
around Mt Pleasant never looked better for
this season of the year. Wheat is especially
looking well. The farmers all bring in en-
couraging reports, and consequently they
look happy-and no doubt are, as they have
every reason to be.
Business Outlook-Business is now begin
ming to look up some since the great coke
strike has been declared off. Business men
don't look for much change for the better
until the fall trade sets in, as most of our
people got behind owing to the late strike.
Collections are hard to make just at the
present time. After the coke workers re-
ceive two or three pays better business can
be expected.

Condition of Crops-The outlook for good
crops of all kinds is good, better than for
several years. Wheat, oats, corn and rye
are looking good Lots of fruit all over our
county.

corn crop. They have been short for sew
eral years but the prospect is A No. l.
New Castle.
Condition of Crops-Generally good. Wheat |
and oats particularly so in most sections. |
Corn is backward, but it is too early yet to |
form much of an estimate as to this crop.
W arm weather will repair all past injury. |
The hay crop prospects are fair.

naces have pretty generally resumed. Glass |
works have had q fair season and talk of bet \
ter prices next year. can think of no inn |
portant industries that are not in operation. |
Building continues to be very active. The l
new industries established here within the 4
past few years have caused demand for |
houses somewhat in excess of the supply.
Parker's Landing.
Condition of Crops-Strawbe berries in this |
section. Cherries and small fruits plenty. |
Peaches and apples look good. Hay will be
light. Wheat looks for good crop. Oats
look favorable. Not many potatoes were /
planted on account of high price of seed.
Business Outlook-Only fair. The oil busi- /
ness governs this section. Money is hard to
collect on old debts. People more inclined /
to buy for cash than they have been.

be large crop, but there will be an ample
crop for domestic uses.
Business Outlook In this immediate local
ity business is quite brisk. This of course is
affected by the coal and coke
operations in this section. In general, how
ever, we think the business outlook will
compare favorably with the past few years. |
There is certainly no cause for complaint.
