OF fruits, apples will be about one-nali
crop Peaches very Jew, with pears ana
ounces about one-half crop. Berry fruit
never did look better. and now promises to
make abundant Weld. Our business men
are all complaining of hard times and no
money. and the outlook in business IS not
very encouraging. Our business men and
merchants see but little early change until
relieved by fall maturity OF crops
Preston COunty-In this locality the
wheat. oats and grass are very fine. There
is a good stand of corn, and 1t is very large
for its age. II was planted late. Tne
fruit crop is poor one in this section
There are no failures but business is very
Gull. Land only nominal value When
forced 10 sale seems 10 have no real value
Cattle very much like land. Other prop
erty different.
Harrison County-Our farmers Of late
years have been applying themselves 10
live stock, and the acreage now planted is
not as great as heretofore. Wheat is good
Not much corn planted and not much small
fruit. Farmers Just about grow enough
corn for their own use Business IS quiet
and there is nothing very noticeable in the
condition Of trade nere.
Randolph County-Pastures and mead
Ows are very fair wheat good, corn back
ward and acreage below the average,
owing 20 wet weather. Oats promise
something. out the crop has been failure
here for the past three years and the acre
age is very small. Potato crop looks well,
and there is good acreage. Other vege-
tables also show al good acreage, Fruit
crop is good, especially apples. Business
is dull. The wet weather has greatly hin
dered the active lumber business, but 1t
as No Ion. NJ rr,oyra eOrOarnat the sea-
son advances.
Ritchie c. H, Richie Couhty-ln wheat
there is every indication OF a full crop.
Grass is better than for a good many
wears past Oats is a good showing. Corn
is a little backward, but indications are
GOOD. Potatoes will show up more than
average and vegetables are all good. Fruit
wiz be much better than for year or so
past Business is favorable, but money IS
ma demand and hard to get The favorable
outlook for crops has a tendency TO make
things look bright
PeunsborO, Richie COunty-Rains have
been excessive and spring planting late,
but the outlook is promising for good crops.
Early planted corn was retarded oy wet
weather. but is now recovering and late
planting looks Well The meadows with
some more sunshine will improve, yet they
promise good yield. Wheat looks well.
Apple crop will be fair in this immediate
section, especially low ground orchards,
which have for several years failed. Small
fruit only promises a fair yield some OF II
being injured by late frost. Farmers seem
intent on a Jealous effort TO make good isli
crops Business is fair only. No conserv-
alive estimate can be made at this time.
Prices of live stock will be established
soon, when better estimate oil the GUS
mess outlook can be made.
ROaue Couuty-Cr0ps are reported as
looking well all over this county. Grasses
are exceDtionallv fine this season. Corn
is small but well stocked, About ten per
cent. more planted this year than last.
Wheat seems 70 be late but has clean
stock and excellent bloom. The percent
over last years estimates Will be ABOUT
five. Potatoes are promising, though the
acreage is not increased. The continued
rains are preventing cultivation TO some
extent. Upon the whole it seems that the
conditions are better than last year. The
smallpox scare has effected business here
20 a very perceptible extent, but statesmen
reDOrt the outlook as tiatterlug. The lum-
Der trade AZ this point is lively and bust
ness seems on "a boom. Money is reported
close. Bank has none 10 loan, although II
seems to be circulating about as usual.
Upon the whole the business outlook OF
ROane is good
Tavlor-The amount Of wheat sOwn is
about the average, and tue prospects for
good crops much above the average. All
farmers report the outlook most favorable
for large crop. Prospects for corn, pO-
tatOes and garden crops are excellent at
this time Grass crop is as good as known
for the past ten years, and there will be
fair WELD of all fruits. All crops
through this section present fatte-ing
prospects The business outlook is good
and trade active in all branches COllec-
lions are easy and money plenty. People
are gradually getting in better financial
condition and everything points to pros
porous year in this State.
Tucker County-Grass and wheat are
thriving ami promise well for harvest. Ow-
ING 10 the wet weather this spring, corn is
late but is doing well. Oats are good, and
potatoes doing finely. Upon the whole, we
expect better than an average crop. There
is fair crop of fruit along the river bot
toms. but almost a complete failure on the
uplands. Lumber business is good. Ceal
oIite dull in the spring, but is Frightening
up to some extent, and is becoming more
brisk BY degrees. Tanning and leather
business is good. The mercantile interests
in this county is governed entirely by these
industries.
Upshur COunty-The season has been
wet grass is good, and all crops promise an
average Weld. There will be berries and
plums, but apples, pears, peaches, cherries,
etc. are almost an entire failure. There
has been an unprecedented business devel-
opmeut throughout our county during the
past vear-this is all along the line In the
various kinds OF business. Business en-
terprises have been established, towns i'm
proved. houses built. The boom here has
been substantial and is staying. The last
year has eQualed the ten preceding years.
and the coming year promises as much.
New MartinSviue, WetZel County
Wheat and potatoes are excellent Corn is
doing well, but wet weather has interlered
with cultivation. Oats is fair crop.
Grass fair. and would be better were it not
for the growth of weeds, which impair the
quality OF the hay, especially weed
known as 'horse sowel, which bids fair 10
ultimately ruin the meadows. The fruit
prospect is very fine, apples and peaches
promising good crops, plumS and small
fruits generally being number one, and
with prospect Of finest crop ever known.
Business is fair, somewhat improved by
oil operations in this and the adjoining
county of TYLER. Otherwise IL is ABOUT as
usual Until the crops are further adj
vanced 10 is hard to give correct estimate.
Harvesting of wheat will begin about June
2Jth.
Burton, Wetzel County-Wheat is better
prOspectvely than usual. and II there Is no
damage 10 10 between now and harvest, and
60 ripens all right will be the best we have
