II THINK" said one Of the Officials Of
the Pullman Palace car company few
days since, who is in position to form
pretty correct judgments, THAT while
there are no certain indications Of a
better feeling in trade and business just
at present, there are the best of reasons
to look for u very sudden start soon.
The passenger traffic Of the country is
by no means bad measure of the ac-
tivity OF trade, and the returns from our
lines are in every case larger than for
the same period last year. There is not
u single exception to this, and the in
come Of the company is already a mil
ion in excess Of that Of last year. II we
are making money there is no reason
why the railroads should not do proper
tionately as well. Our shops are full of
orders. In fact we can hardly keep up
with the contracts that we have under
way, to say nothing of important orders
which we shall close in short time"

lr Is u matter of great local pride TO
see the opposition to the Gulf railway
enterprise rapidly disappearing, and
parties who have heretofore held alooi
and withheld their encouragement COM
ing forward with their subscriptions.
One reason for this is that of local pri de
and the desire to see the city boom,
with also the natural impulse TO become
an agent in so great factor for the
city's future prosperity. Self interest
is the great leveler of technical objec-
tions, and after the mists of doubt re-
garding the enterprise fairly became
cleared away public opinion became
satisfied with its praoticabiity and con-
fldent of its ultimate success. And this,
to-day, is the situation of the Gulf road.
Every day sees some new name and
new influence added TO it, until now
but little else remains but the prepare
ton of the preliminary organization and
the settlement Of minor questions.
