This question is often heard on our streets

have visited the establishment, II seems al.
most " miracle TO find every one who has
invested at the New York Clothing Hou &c
speak 50 highly OF the house. Their coming
among MS In the very dullest season OF the
year. the extremely large stock they carry,
the vast quantities of goods daily sold, are
puzzles for everybody; hence we hear, where
urc they found? They come from New York
of the large manufacturing establishment of
A. Steinberg &,Co,, 81 Walker street. And
why can they command such trade? They
are importers and manufacturers OF oil they
sell, and make 1t n matter OF Importance to
let everybody find out that what they sell is
the best and lowest in price, and have no
opposition In the city of Dallas, for they are
daily represented in the b'st market OF the
United States, where, with cash, they can
Ind many opportunities for proper invest

isOidcr Thinhs About ~.
Meeting Mr., w, j. Clark casually,
yesterday, HERALD reporter esked
him number Of questions in regard
to Dallas, her present and future busl'
ness prospects, to which he replied:
III am Of opinion that the OBJECT Of
your Inquiries would better be reached
by general rather than categorical
answer, and with this view ! submit
the following: There has been some
unenSines5 among part OF uur busl-
ness men rs 10 the effect Of the extern
sion Of the Texas and PacillG ltallrOnd
to Fort Worth. Ann satisfied that
this feeling has given away, and u
more settled view Of the matter has
caused II reaction. Our merchants are
making their usual purchases for the
fall trade, and ! have no doubt that
the trade will be fully up to past sea-
sons, ii not better Our crops Of
grain are large and the surplus
over the home demand Is very large,
this must and will find market here
aud be shipped out to the various mar
kcts open to u5--Our wheat crop, with
more acreage than the past season will
OF necessity chow larger bulk, but in
quantity per acre is behind the yield
Of last year, and it is also, not 50 fine
in quality. Our corn, oats and barley,
are mll CROPS, and will, although sell
ing at low prices, bring n very large
return to the planter. The cotton crop
il in better condition than for many
years, the average yield being csIim0t-
ed nv II bale OF lint to the acre. You
will readily see by the above that the
farming interest is in fine condition
financially, and our trade during the
present season must he larger than
previous seasons, without any change
IN the condition Of the cotton crop be-
fore maturity. Dallas will secure not
less than sixty thousand bales, or
about twenty per cent. increase on last
years receipt, thus keeping pace with
the very handsome increase in amount
of land brought into cultivation, show
ing beyond doubt that our va liable
farming lands are rapidly being taken
up by thrifty population. or course
the trade has some seeming draw
bucks, and regnrdyour question as to
the effect Of a nee bridge, very diill-
cult one to answer AT the outset | re-
gard the bridge US necessity, but not
of necessity, ford, and NJ the gentlmen
who own the bridge, are among our
most enterprising citizens, it seems
to me il the toll is too great
that II proper representation Of the
facts would inducea prompt and favor
able reply, and the rates so changed rs
to meet this emergency. do not
think that Dallas can now afford to
purchase. There hus been some hurry
IN the expression of opinion on this
subject, and there has been created IN
idea that the Bridge Company are in
the way Of the trade Of Dallas. This |
do not believe. The bridge is II great
convenience, and was built for the
benefit Of the trade, by men whose en-
terprise has, in more than one way
added to the prosperity of Dallas
However II the city of Dallas feel able
to lease the bridge at-say, tive hun,
drcd dollars per month, this woulC
give general satisfaction.
