Are We Having Hard Times Z?

In answer to this query we dispatched
q gentleman (who was well acquainted
with all the business men of the Alamo
city, with instructions to call upon the
most prominent firms of the city to as
certain their opinions of the present
business and the prospects for fall trade.
Having visited nearly all Of the repre-
sentative firms Of this city our agent
tells us that there are many who COM
plain and Others who shake their heads,
saying we cannot get cost for our goods.
Our agent says there are a number of
firms who are paying expenses, and but
very few whose profits show more than
expenses. Prominent among those
who are not at present losing
money we would mention j. NJ.
Emerson, of No. u Soledad street.
In answer to our question of, "Mr. Emer-
son what is your opinion regarding San
Antonio and the prospect Of a revival Of
trader" Mr.. Emerson replied: ~ am not
very well posted regarding any particu-
lar line Of business, but my own and as a
pawnbroker, am free to confess that
never saw the time when dollar was
worth as much as 1t is at present, and
still / am not losing money, because as
the times grow harder / advance less
money on all articles brought to me to
be left for loans, and although / fire.
quently sell an article for less than half
the market price l still make small
margin on the same" Our agent here
asked, "What articles do you advance
on9" Mr.. Esreplied: "Any thing such as
is usually taken by pawnbrokers, such
as gold and silver watches, diamonds,
household goods, clothing, tools of all
kinds, fire arms, sewing machines, musi-
cal goods, boots and shoes, clocks, and q
thousand and other articles too numer-
GUS to mention. From what we know
we would recommend the people who
have no extra money to spare to call on
Mr.. Emerson and our word for it they
will be politely treated. If Mr.. Emerson
has got the article they want, they will
save at least 80 per cent.

ROach's Shfp-Yard Burued-Heayy
LOSS.


CHESTER, Pa, August S.-About $50
O'Clock this evening fire was discovered by
one OF the waichmen in the blacksmith
shop, frame building, in Roach's ship
yard. The flames soon spread to the punch
shed, also frame building, covering nearly
an acre OF ground. Upon this the flames
fed rapidly, and despite the most persist
eut efforts OF the Chester Fire Department
the fire spread over the building. which
was old and dry, lighting up the sky for
a great distance around. All efforts to save
this immense building were given up and
attention directed TO saving the bending
shed. short distance away, but the efforts
OF the fircpen were unavaling, and il was
soon laid in waste. The fremen then d.
rected their attention 10 the foundry, a
large brick building adj joining the bending
she'd, and it was only by herculean efforts
that it was saved. SO desperate did the fire
become at one time that kilograms were sent
TO Wilmington and Philadelphia for assist
ance, but the fire was gotten Under control
sufficiently TO couDtermand the orders. The
principal loss will be in the punch-shed,
where there was great deal OF heavy and
expensive machinery. such Us rolls, punSh-
e., drills, shear, planers, counter-snks,
Skating, and pulleys, valued at s3j0,0OO.
The rolls alone cost ten TO twelve thou
sand dollars apiece, and there were three
or four sets OF these. There were six sets
Of punches, valued At $4,000. The other
machinery was proportionately expensive,
and required 70 be in daily use, rs it enters
into the shaping preparation OF all plstos
and iron used in ships. Much OF
this machinery was new, and 1t will re-
quire several months to replace it. The
loss in the bending-shed will reach over
$500, 900. In it were two furnaces, plates.
and bending machinery, which were also
heavy and costly. The buildings them
selves. although sheds, were worth 100000.
The loss on both buildings and machinery
Is said to be fully covered by insurance
in Philadelphia, New York, and English
companies. The ways under the Old Do
minion ship Seneca. 10 be launched next
Tuesday. caught fire, but, fortunately, 1t
was subdued before any damage WAS done
TO the vessel. Everything about the two
buildings burned was rendered worthless
except for old iron. The confagration
throws about five hundred men out OF
work. and will virtually stop the yard and
suspend work on the Government cruisers
for sOma time.
