WEATHER AND CROPS.

Special to the Register.
Parkersburg, w. Va, July 14.-The
following report of the weather's effect
on crops for the past week is given out
officially by H. l.. Bell, section director
for West Virginia:
EFFECT ON THE CROPS.
The weeks weather on the whole,
was beneficial to the growing crops.
Frequent showers and cloudy weather
delayed farm work to some extent and
prevented the ripening OF oats and
grass, but otherwise did little damage.
High wind tangled the oats and did
some damage 10 corn. The greater
part of the corn crop has been laid by.
1t is in excellent condition and has
good healthy color. Oats harvesting
and haymaking continue. though de-
layed by the weather. These crops
promise fine yield in most sections.
Wheat threshing shows crop much
below the average. Mr. E. w. Nc
Neill, Old Fields, Hardy county, re-
ports that a great deal of the wheat is
not of good quality. having shriveled
to almost nothing owing TO action Of
chinch bugs. and that he hardly thinks
it will pay him to thresh his crop, but
will feed it to hogs. That section Of
the State appears to have a poorer
wheat crop than elsewhere. The gen.
eral crop is, however, better than was
at one time thought possible. While
the straw is light, the heads were well
filled and plump.
The fruits continue in good condition
and are plentiful. Gardens and potato
fields have done well and vegetables
are abundant and of excellent quality.

New Jersey. The Boston Globe, the lead
ing Democratic paper Of Massachusetts,,
which we quote elsewhere, declares that
the Democrats of Massachusetts,, barring
the Mugwumps, will stand by the ticket
Loyalty. And in Maryland, which tho
Democrats for the sake Of the argument
have been conceding to the Republicans,
has no "bolters" to speak Of either
among the people or among the Demo-
cratic leaders. Beyond very few the
Democrats Of Maryland are solid for the
splendid ticket named at Chicago. The
Sun and the News, OF Baltimore, have
declared their intention not TO support
the Chicago platform. but we believe
they will come around to the right side
ere long, for outside of these TWO news
paper Offices in the City o; Baltimore,
we are reliably informed that the defec-
ton from the Democratic party is insig-
nifcant John E. Hurst, one of the
strongest gold Democrats" in Maryland
publicly announces his determination to
Support the Democratic nominees. Sen
a:or German is reported TO be of the
same mind. Congressman Bailey, of
Texas. rs another alleged bolter, who de-
MES the soft impeachment and declares
that he will support the ticket, which
he says is a winner. Even in the solid
Republican State OF New Hampshire
there are no Democratic boilers outside
Of the bank ng fraternity who have con-
nections in Wall street. In Rhode Is
land the Democrats are enthusiastic for
Bryan and there is no talk of boiling.
But on the other side Of the question
it is decidedly different.
Mark Hanna's frantic effort TO get Off
the St. Louis platform shows that he APP
preciates this solemn fact to its full eX-
tent. II is also exemplifed by the fact
that it is recognized as decidedly doubt
full if Mr.. Mckinley will carry his own
State.

OIL NEWS.

SiStersvilie. July IA very heavy
thunder storm passed over this city this
morning and while no damage was done
h.5re, two tanks out in the WICK ter
ritcry were struck by lightning anu
were burned. One OF the tanks De-
longed to the Kanawha Oil Company
and was located ON the Smith farm at
well No. Z, and the other one was on
the S,srickling farm. There was COM
siderable oil in both Of the tanks ana
the loss VIII probably amount to several
hundreds of dollars.
A very important we'll drilled in yes
teriay was that on the Jackman farm
OUT in the Wick territory ON. McElroy
creek by the Victor Gil Company.
When drilled to the top of the sand the
well showed up for good producer and
when it was complsted this morning
was showing up for 100 barrels a day.
This we'll is a very important one TOR
the reason that it is !oca.Gd considerably
10 the East OF any of the wells drilled
so far in that section and extends the
field quite a distance in thar direction.
After standing at $1.15 for several
weeks the price Of credit started to
tumble yesterday and went down two
cents. To-day they again started down
along the line and declined three cents.
What the cause OF this sudden decline
in the market is to be attributed to
no one will ever attempt to say. Ac-
cording to the reports of the pipe line
companies there is less Oil in stock now
than for years and there is every rea-
son to think that the price Of oil should
go up. The price of credit balances has
started down now and there is no tell
ing where they will wind up.
The we'll being drilled in the Flesher
farm, out in the Wick territory by the
Victor Oil Co., was due in the sand to-
day, but up TO the hour Of going to
press nothing had been heard from it.
II will probably be drilled in tonight or
tomorrow morning.
A report of big strike at ST. Mary's
was received in this city last evening,
but what the we'll was or where it is no
one could be found who could tell. All
the information that could be gotten was
that big we'll had been drilled in and
That the entire country down there was
excited over the strike.
