Are We Having Hard Times I?

In answer to this query we dispatched
a 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 n number OF
firms who are paying expenses, and but
very few whose profits show more than
expenses. Prominent among those
who are not ut present losing
money we would mention j. Nj.
Emerson, of No. II 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" MIR. Emerson replied: I'll am not
very well posted regarding any particu-
lar line Of business, but my own and as
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 j still make small
margin on the same" Our agent here
asked, "What articles do you advance
ong" Mr.. Il. replied: "Any thing such as
is usually takensby 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 a
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 1t they
win be politely treated. II Mr.. Emerson
has got the article they want, they will
save at least 80 per cent.

: That the subscribers to the railroad to
the Gulf project are in earnest and mean
to pay up their subscriptions, is proven
by the promptness with which they
come up with the per cent. levied to
pay the expenses of the Engineer and
committee to Arkansas and Pass Cavallo.
Dr. Lindner, when the LIGHT reporter
saw him yesterday, had already col
iecfed S9fl, or the levy on about $4,000,
or one-fourth of the whole subscription.
He met but one party who hesitated TO
pay up, aud that one insisted on having
. bond guaranteeing that the railroad
would be built before he was willing TO
contribute Tooth part Of his subscrip-
tion, As the doctor. had no such bond on
venient he passed the kicker by.
