A Successful Mans Opinion Of the
Business Prospect For the
Coming Year.
He Thinks We Are Down to Hard Pan,
and That 1885 Will Be a Money
Making Year.
Labor Settling Down to European Prices,
Win Keep the Balance Of Trade
In Our Favor.

New YORK, December l6.-Jay Gould
was asked by reporter at his residence
to express his views at to the present
condition OF business and the outlook
for the future. "Why is the business
world 30 depressed2" he was asked
"For various reasons, one is, that we
pass through just such periodical de-
pressions at least every ten years. l
think the indications are that we are
now down TO hard-pan. The railroads are
not making good showing because the
war has been the means of reducing
the rates to such figure that the COM
peting lines are compelled to do business
at less than the cost of operation. Again,
the season about the period OF q Presi-
Dental election is always one OF de-
spondency. The prospects of change of
administration cause great many enter
prises to hesitate. Business men are I'M
certain as to the policy of any incoming
administration, and fear to make ven
lures. This feeling of apprehension,
| believe, however, is passing away. The
fears OF change in the tariff system also
seem to be growing less marked, because
labor Is settling down to
EUROPEAN PRICES.
Again, the beginning of a new year is al
most upon US. At such time business
firms desire to call a halt and take an in
ventory of their stock and start out
afresh."
ado you believe that the outlook for
business is an encouraging one?"
"Most certainly do. | think that the
year 1885 will be money-making year,
as the balance of trade is now in our
favor"
"Do you not think that the advent of
the new administration will furnish
further encouragement to the business
world?"
81 believe that the administration of
President Cleveland will be careful, sound
and conservative. did feel that the Re-
publican party should be continued in
power, because l recognized the fact that
its platform was pronounced upon the
subject OF a protective tariff but now
that labor is settling down to a lower
basis do not know but that it is Just as
well that the Democrats were victori-
GUS"
"What, in your opinion, will be the Is
sue in the fight between the New York
Central and the West Shore?"
Eventually the West Shore must give
in. If Vanderbilt decides that it is nee
essarylfor him to own it, he will purchase
it at his own price"
"What is your opinion Of the last report
CT the Central Road.
81 do not believe that the New York
Central Company has paid any dividend
which it has not fairly earned. The is
sue Of bonds-which is made public by
the statement-I happen to know, was
made because of the need of money for
the purpose of carrying on vast i'm
provements. Don't labor under the de-
fusion that the New York Central Rail-
road is poor. 1t is possibly the most
magnificent piece of railroad property in
the country"
