Never Keen Time So Villi.
lima must Indeed tat hard when even
Urn pawnbrokers complain of bad busi
es. ' While all other branches of trade
lave managed to pull through the holl
sys with at least small but profitable
Ulatic t the last ol the year, the pawn
brokers, probably fur the first time In
Qustr recollection, find thnelve en the
losing side of the ledger;
A reporter made a tour of Now York
city, visiting 100 pawnshop scattered
boat the east and west sides and Har
lem. Out of all the shop vUited only
two of the owners admitted that but i
ness waa Improving, and that they weru
doing a well as last year. Tlu-w two
ease may be accounted tor by reason of
their long standing aud popularity with
the people that patronlaeauch eitablUh
mente. One I situated on upper Blxth
venue, in the Tenderloin, and the other
la Chatham square, for generations the
Msec for those in want of ready cah.
Neither of the two places advance
money except on jewelry, They do ust,
therefore, come in contact with the poor
est class nf people,, who are compelled to
part with even their clothes when ne
cessity com pels then to raise money to
buy food.
The pawnbrokers, when aaked for an
explanation of the falling off in their
business, with one accord said, "The
poorer classes, with whom we deal,
pawned all they bad during the money
Knio last summer and now have nothing
t to pawn and no money to redeem
their pledges."
One man In Oliver street said: "I
bave been In the pe-wnbroking bunion
for 45 years, and I have never seen bind
neassodull. During the summer months
we took lu all we could handle, but
money waa so tight then that we ad
vanced only one-half the loan usually
given. Even this did not stop the bnsi
Dens. Naturally w expected big boom
this fall, and that the goods would be re
deemed, but we were mistaken. I bave
never had such quantity of goods on
my shelves. If the people conld only
pay the interest, I would not complain,
but most of them are Industrious people
out of work, and the ohanoee of getting
my money back are very slim."
At pawnshop on the Bowery the
manager saidt "If business in onr line
continue the same for another month, I
shall be compelled to go to work, The
outside public look upon the pawn
brokers as having money to burn. They
think we are on 'velvet all our lives, but
If they could look at onr books for the
past year they would not think our
game wee such a good thing. It may
look very odd for me to make this state
ment, but it Is a fact nevertheless that
when times are good with the people
they are good with us. I can explain
that this way: When, for inntunce, the
bead of the family la working steadily,
the wife or daughter needs some little
things in the middle of the week, They
have not the wherewith and won't have
it until Raturday night Tiu-y can't wait
until then, lint rush off to tho pawnshop
with sometruikat, ami on Si.Uur-Uy night
come in and redeem it. Now things are
different. Even if tliey have tlm trinket
(which, by tlie way, is very doubtful)
they do not dure to pawn it, for the fa
ther being out of work they are not
sure of getting it out ;;aai. The result
is that, instead of our turning our money
over and over, we simply have to ait
dewn and grin and bnr it."
"Pawnbrokers are starving," said a
Grand street proprietor. "Tho people
bave all our money and we their goods.
We would rather reverse the order of
affairs, but I can see no prospect of such
change. During the past year we had
more goods left with us after the ticket
expire than ever before. With the hard
times and competition we got no prices
at all when we auctioned our unre
deemed pledget," To prove this asser
tion the pawnbroker brought curt his
books, which showed that at tlio last
auction sale of unredeemed goods In De
cember the pawnbroker lost $200.
"We would prefer to have the people
redeem their pledgee," he added, "for
then we get the Interest, and that's what
we are in the business for."
A tour of the pawnshops along Second
venue found the proprietors all bemoan
ing their fate and complaining of the
hard times. Little or no business was
being transacted at these shops, poor peo
ple having long since parted with their
clothing, the principal article tn trade on
the east side.
Up in Harlem the same condition of
affairs prevails, - One pawnbroker on
One Hundred and Twenty-flfth street
said that he had no more money to loan
on clothing, adding that it did not pay
for the room it occupied, and that the
chance of its ever being redeemed was
very remote. Along Eighth, Ninth and
Tenth avenues the pawnbrokers said
business was going to the dogs. A pawn
broker on Eighth avenue, near Twentieth
street, who does a flourishing business,
said: "There's no chance of improvement
in our business until the people get work.
At present it looks as if we wore in busi
ness for our health."
In lower Sixth avenue and Hudson
street, which are populated by the poorer
Class, the wail of the pawnbroker is loud
And sad. No reason ia given except that
the men are out of work and the wives
have nothing left to pawn except scraps
of clothing, and that ia refused at the
majority of pawnshops. New York Com
