BUSINESS OUTLOOK

enlarged Among the most promi-
nent new business establishments
that nave been added to the city
within the past few months are the
Peoples National Bank and the
furniture store of Frame & Hem
derson. .... ....- o. .r u.u
Our industries have prospered
as they never did before. None Of
them have been idle during the
summer and many have worked
over time. Collections have been
remarkably good, which Is very
important feature In all business
TRANSACTIONS Our banking inSti-
tutions have all done lucrative
business the past summer, which Is
ample evidence that the city and
community In general Is In a pros
porous condition financially, The
banking institutions OF Sistersville
are classed with the most substan
tial In the State of West Virginia.
Th stockholders are all solid men,
and the officers In charge have had
many years experience In the bank
Ing business and are amply quail
fed to conduct them successfully.
The Wetzel-Tyler electric rail-
way Is another very important and
substantial enterprise that has been
added to our progressive city dur
Ing the present year, and the pros
poets are very favorable just now
for another trolley line to be con-
structed to the city from points
south. We are quite hopeful of
getting one built during next srm-
mer through the interior of the
county to some point on the B. &
o. railroad. This is line that
Is of vast Importance to this city
as well, also, to every citizen OF
Tyler county. Let the citizens of
both county and city use their
combined efforts In this important
matter. Give the projectors of the
enterprise all possible encourage
ment and assistance
LiyAthe b iildi ,g b on real estate
has been very active here during
the summer and fall. Many ex-
tensive deals In real estate have
been consumated and In every In
stance big prices were realized.
Only few days ago the Hotel
Mercer was sold and the price paid
tor 1t was $4,000, which was con-
sidered at the time good figure,
but the deed had bsrely been sign
ed when the purchaser refused
81 600 for his bargain. This Is
more evidence OF the prosperity and
good faith capitalists have In Sis
tersville, The laboier as well as the
merchant and protest. NAL man,
have experienced a very prof able
! summer and have shared alike In
the city's prosperity.
At present writing the business
outlook Tor the new year never
looked brig ehter for Sistersville and
Tyler county. The oil operator Is
being greatly encourages hy the
market advancing at rapid rate,
and which naturally makes him
anticipate there Is d fortuue for him
near at hand. From business
standpoint, 1t can be truly said that
there Is rosy tinge visible for the
present and future outlook for Sis
tersville.
Sistersville daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1902-1905, 1903-10-24

The business outlook generally
speaking, of the country at the
present time Is not altogether OF
the most satisfactory nature. Yet
1t Is not necessarially so serious as
to cause any immediate national
disaster. The outcome, however,
depends In very great degree up
on whether the people manifest
good judgment and self control or
whether they become reckless. and
too ve1ituresome
At all times the course OF hnan
cial aff4irs depend very much upon
the mental attitude OF the public. A
feeling of either confidence or dis
pair is contagious. In a period
I6f prosperity nearly everybody
is anxious to invest. When the
summit Is reached-as 1t is certain
to be-the opposite attitude Is
most likely to prevail aud people
become eager to dispose of their
holdings. There has been no
great change In the productive
power of the country within The
past few months, and the labor
force Is just as great as 1t ever was.
The actual capital and plans are al,
so practically unchanged, The
crops,as rule, have been good and
there yet remains substantial ba-
sis for continued prosperity.
1t Is true, however, some OF the
banking institutions of the country
have made unwise advances, there
by forcing a few of them to dis
pose of their securities at loss.
Yet this does not involve insolven'
cy for them. Many of the big
banking concerns that have been
placed In the hands of receivers
could pay off their deposits If they
could only realize on their assets at
a fair basis. '
1t Is a fact that certain railroads
have discontinued improvements,
bat that Is no evidence for alarm as
the railroad expansion In the past
few years has been abnormal and IS
therefore quite natural a limit
should be reached. So far as earn
lngs are concerned, the railroads
have Jared remarkably we'll during
the present year.
The present situation demands
courage, calmness and due consid
Grafton. If no undue alarm Is felt,
If the holders of obligations grant
reasonable conce ssions to the debt.
ors, the losses will be confined al
most entirely to the spectators and
1.-THE business Of the couatry will
continue In Its normal prosperous
condition.
| SlSTERsvlLLE PROSPEROUS
Sistersville never experienced a
more prosperous summer In her
history than the one juat ended.
There has not been single failure
In any branch Of business. On the
other hand numerous new busi-
ness enterprises have been added
to the city. There have also been
many new and modern residences
and places of business erected here
during the past summer, while a
number have been remodeled and

TUNNEL CASE IN SUPREME COURT
Mr.. Evarts Moves That Il he Advanced

for Argument.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-Mr. Evarts
moved In the Supreme Court to-day to
advance for oral argument the case OF
Charles T. Barney VI. the City OF New
York, the Board OF Rapid Transit Com
missioners and the contractors for build
ing the subway In New York. presenting the
question OF liability for the damages caused
to houses on Park avenue by the building
Of the subway, and the question Of injunc-
ton to prevent further construction and
the filing up Of the tunnel on the ground
that 1t was unauthorized.
Barney brought suit In the Federal Dis
trict Court for injunction and damages,
ON the ground that the tunnel. a. being CON-
structed, was unauthorized and was not
being built In accordance with the gen.
eral plan Of construction approved by the
Appellate Division OF the Supreme Court
and consented TO by him. the essterly wall
of said tunnel, instead Of being 81 feet and
Q inches from the building line Of the house

Division were the acts OF the State OF New
