CroDs are GOOD and farmers generally IN

Business is GOOD here and manufacturing
industries run steadily and employ up to
their fun quota. Failures are rev and Tar
between.
Bellaire-The farmers have been kept
from planting by reason OF the wet
weather all of May, and the corn crop
In the average planted must be 25 per cent.
short and is very backward. Il cannot be
worked for rains and the crops must be
short Other crops, such as wheat, grass,
oats and potatoes and all vegetables raised
In Gardens are doing well and no doubt
will be a good full crop. Sheep OF the
country have been very largely reduced IN
number on account OF the price or WOOL
be9Do so low. Our farmers are not making
rnrB.h- money. Business men and factories
areAdoiDz reasonably well, and have made
some money. The last year this city has
Suffered in several of her factories going 70
the gas fields of the west. Do not know or
snv fgi lures in this city during the past
wear. There nave been several farmers
failed and made assignments.
q Martins Ferry-Have had plenty OF rain
here. and az this time the prospects for a
fuU average crop Of wheat, oats, corn and
hav is verv promising. Straw berries are
coming in with prospects Of medium crop.

alb Of mil Ia Inf
owing 10 the same cause. There will, how
ever.-be an average crop. Wheat will be
better than average, and grass is better
theu-sor years. There will be a fine potato
crop. Prospects are vary hattering. The
railroad is doing an enormous business IN
this cOUnty. Lumber is the principal COM
modify. Several large plants In operation
and numerous smaller ones running all the
time. The lumber output is immense. The
population is increasing very rapidly.
There ia some demand for farming lands
and rresAt demand for timber New en-
terprises are opening up daily, and the IN
crease of the Gauley extension on thew.
Az p. Railroad, in the next ninety days,
will increase volume or business largely.

a full crop. Hay is also very good. Oats

vardsin this section. Wheat fair and corn
little. late Potatoes are a fair crop.

Erass look good In this county. Corn is
smalla backward, on account Of so much
webweather. Business is fair ip this sec
ton.
Ravenswood, Jackson County-Grass,
wheat and vegetables look well. Oats not
so fair. Owing 20 wet season corn and
potatoes look bad and are weedy. General
outlook is Eood. Berries are plenty. Small
fruits and apples light No peaches Bust
ness has been quite dull and is now more
so on account Of smallpox quarantine,
that has half destroyed trade aRd travel
below Parkersburg 20 Huntington. Pros

IS an average acreage and appearances indi-
cate large yield. large corn crop is
planted which looks we'll but has been
greatly retarded by the almost constant
rains The fruit crop Will not be as good
as usual; there viii be sufficient, however,

Wheat harvest viii begin about the 10th
inst. Business of all kinds seems to be
brisk Timber dealers have been unusually
fortunate The creeks and small streams
ave afforded ample waters for drifting
tlber Of an kinds 70 the Ohio River where
ready sales can be made. Money has no
been scarce except TO those who rarely ever
have anything 70 sell
Marion COunty-Wbeat is excellent and
viii be a good crop II the continued rams
do not injure il. Corn is growing nicely
now. Oats also looking we'll Altogether
the crop outlook in Marion county IS better
than usual The outlook for this section is
good, though some appreheusiOnS are felt

should occur, and dealers in that section
are holding IA because Of that In Fair
mont the Development Company is push

and there is a certainty of TWO large new
glass houses M the near future. The oil
and coal development has been very. great
in this county in the past two years, and
the effect is felt in all lines Of business.
There IS a fair demand for coke and coal
now though prices are low.
