The road npon wmch these securities are based is oue of first-class
importance. It spans the State of New-York from its Metropolis
borders. No public work of
greater magnitude or of fairer promise for utility and profit has ever been undertaken in
this State.
Its northern terminus is at the
City of Oswego, on Lake Ontario. From this point it traverses, in the direction of New-York, the
rich and populous counties of
Oswego, Oneida, Madison, Cayuga, Onondago, Cortland, Chenango, Otsego, Delaware, Sulivan, Ulster
and Orange, where it strikes the borders of
New-Jersey, whence it continues under another name and a separate
that State, to the
City of New-York. The last-named division i3 now in course of construction. The entire charter obtained from
to its northern
*
upwards of 400 miles.
The road is
;
,
length of the road is
admirably located for securing a large and profitable business. The northern section of
New-Jersey, through which it
passes, is one of the most healthful and picturesque
regions in the vicinity of New-York. It only needs the additional attraction of the
railroad facilities which this line will afford to transform it
into a wealthy and populous suburb of the
Metropolis; thus securing to that
division of the road a large and
constantly increasing local business.
The other and main division traverses the
entire-length of the great midland counties of New-York, which have been hitherto
almost destitute of railroad facilities. These counties are as
fertile and productive as any in the
State; and as this road will furnish
them their much-needed facilities for
transportation and travel, it cannot fail to command, throughout its entire length, a large and
remunerative local business.
Its advantages for
through business, both Northern and Western, are also unsurpassed.
City of New-York with Oswego and Canada forty-five miles; and, by means of a branch to It shortens the railroad connections of the
Auburn, where it connects with the New
York Central, it shortens that connection
with Buffalo and the West seventy miles. These are
important advantages. Taken in
counection with its
thorough construction, its easy grades, and its freedom from sharp curves, it cannot fail to
compete successfully with
any and all other roads for through business. Possessing
such superior advantages for commanding both local and through business, and
b£ ing one of the trunk lines of road
starting from the great commercial centre of the Union, there would seem to be no room to doubt
that the road will prove to be one of the mo9t
remunerative in the country.
Its construction has been undertaken under financial
auspices equally favorable. The citizens of the Midland Counties, feeling the
urgent need of railroad facilities, have mode subscriptions to its capital stock to the amount of six millions of
dollars. The larger share
of these
subscriptions have been made by towns and cities in their corporate
bearing 7 per cent interest. These bonds being made by law exempt from localcapacity, and for which they paid in town and city bonds
and municipal taxation, when held in any county through
which the road passes, the
Company have found ready sale for them at par and interest whenever they had occasion to use the proceeds,
thus rendering the
subscriptions for which they were given in payment, equivalent to cash. The
Company, therefore, commence its
undertaking with a paid-up capital of $6,000,000, which, it is believed, is a
larger capital than any other railroad enterprise in this
country has ever been started with.
By express provision of law the towns aDd cities which have thus subscribed for and now hold a
majority
the Company, can never
dispose of it, whatever the market price may be, without the consent of a majority ofof the capital stock of
the tax-payers in the
respective towns and cities. This
virtually may be deemed a perpetual prohibition of sale, whereby the control of the road will remain
forever with the farmers and business men
residing on its line, who, of all others, are the parties most interested in its succes1, and thus
save it from the hazards of
being made a foot-ball of stock operators and speculators.
To provide the balance of the means that
may be found requisite to complete and equip the road, the
Company has adopted the
usual method of issuing bonds secured
by a first mortgage on its property. That mortgage has been executed. It conveys to A. A.
Low, Geo. Opdyke and Delos De Wolf, in trust, to be held as security for the
boniho’ders, the entire road and its branches, from Oswego
to the State line of
New-Jersev, together with its equipment, franchise, and all other property of the
Company appertaining thereto.
It also provides that the issue
of bonds shall be strictly limited to $20,000 per mile of road actually built and in
running order.
The Company is prosecuting its work with
great energy, and doing it in the most substantial manner. It expects to have one
hundred and forty-seven miles or its road finished
by the 1st October next, namely, that portion of its main line running from
to Sidney Plains^ the
point of intersecticn with the Albany and Susquehanna Railroad, together with a branch to New-Berlin. Oswego
Nearly
the whole cost of this portion has been
defrayed by the stock subscriptions raised along this part of the line. The grading, masonry
and bridging of that portion of the line is
already about completed, and not less than six^y miles of track laid. The work is also
making good progress on other divisions of the road. It is the expectation of the
Company, if not retarded by unforseen obstacles, to
have the entire road completed within the
ensuing calendar year.
In offering these securities to the
public, it i3 due to the Company to say that, in the preparation of their bonds and the
under which they are issued,
mortgage
they have cheerfully adopted every suggestion that we have deemed essential to render them the most
aud attractive railroad
security on the market. The mortgage provides that, in case of default, for a period of four months,perfect
iu the
payment of interest, the bonds shall become due; and it empowers the trustees, in that
event, to take possession of the road and all
other property covered in the
mortgage, and to use or sell the same for the benefit of the bondholders. This we deem a most
importan t
provision, as it avoids all the delays and dangers of litigation in case of default;
The bonds are issued with
coupons; but they provide for registration and reconversion into
coupon bonds at the option of the
holders. Or, if any holder so
elect, ne may, by surrendering the coupons, convert them into permanent registered bonds.
The bonds are payable in
twenty-five years from the 1st of July last. They are piyable in gold coin of the United States.

They
per cent per annum, payable in New-York 1st January and 1st July, free of Government tax.
In view of the $6,000,000
paid-up capital of the corporation issuing these bonds; the importance of the road and it3 admirable
location for commanding profitable
local and through bnsicess; ito proximity to the City of New-York; its wise
protection from |he

charged with its projection and construction ;
ina vaiuable
provisions contained in the mortgage; the right to convert the bonds from
coupon into registered, and to reconvert them ;
the sound
currency in which they are payable, and the high rate of interest they bear—in view of all these
assuring facts, we feel amply
warranted in commending these bonds as one of the safest and most
inviting railroad securities every offered to the public;

present to sell them at par and accrued interest in currency. But the Company reserves to itself the

rise in the monetary stringency of the past six or eight
months.
We may safely infer, therefore, with a large
number of the shrewdest men in Wall street, that if there
should be no artificial tampering with the money market we
shall have no such stringency this fall nor any such monetary
spasms as would be likely to disturb business.

assured, there seems to be do reason to doubt that any present short¬
coming, with regard to the general trade, will be amply compensated
as the season advances.
The only drawback that appears is in relation
to the couree of the fall money market, but fro m the
present aspect of
affairs no serious financial disturbance seems
probable. The prospec
tive drain of currency to the South and West, for
crop and trade pur¬
poses, is likely to be at least partially offset by government disburse¬
ments on account of bond purchases, in accordance with the understood
policy of the Secretary of the Treasury. At present indications are in
favor of a steady trade movement during the autumn months, and a
result far more satisfactory than last year, when business was seriously
interrupted by an excited political campaign, may be expected. - Still
much depends on the movements of the money market.

the loan act of Feb., 1862, and in part
by the beneficent
results which have been conferred on the money market and
on the movements of finance and business.
Still, aside from
these general results which Mr. Boutwell’s
policy has brought
about in the domain of commercial and industrial
activity,
there are some points specially affecting the debt itself which
are
receiving attention and are likely to attract much discus¬
sion, as the time approaches for the opening of Congress.
The first of these questions regards the
Sinking Fund and
the ^desirableness of changing the established
policy of the
Treasury which for several years has been allowed to go on
without being challenged either by
Congress, by the press, or
by the people. What this policy is, will be easily inferred

figures it will be seen that since the fiscal year
the 30th of June, 1866, we have
paid off 186 mil¬
lions of the debt, and have reduced the
principal from 2,783
millions in July, 1866, to 2,597 millions in
July, 1869. In
view of this fact, the requirement of the
Sinking Fund law
may be said to have been abundantly provided for, as that
law only prescribes that one-tenth of the
outstanding debt
shall be paid or bought up every year, provided that

from customs duties shall be large enough
payment or purchase. If Mr. Boutwell had
not bought a single bond since the 1st
July last, then the
Sinking Fund law would have been fully complied with, and
enough has already been paid of the principal of the debt (o
meet the requirements of the law for several
years to come.
The defence of the recent Treasury purchases of bonds, then,
will have to meet the following objections: First, such
pur¬
chases were not demanded by the strict letter of the
Sinking
Fund law; secondly, the five-twenty six per cent bonds, which
are so rapidly bought up
by the Secretary, do not mature or
fall due for 18 years. In buying them he
actually increases
the public debt, as is proved by the fact that for every million
of bonds which he cancels be has'to pay out nearly $1,200,000
of money. It is true that the income tax has
just yielded
40 millions, so that the Treasury is full to
overflowing. But
the objectors inquire why Mr. Boutwell could not have can¬
celled and pail off more than 37 millions of debt with 45
millions of surplus tax receipts. We have a vast
aggregate
of debt payable on demand. This could be reduced at
par.
Why not pay off part of this demand debt instead of giving
20 per [cent for the privilege of redeeming bonds
eighteen
years before maturity ?
Such are some of the arguments used
against Mr. Boutwell’s policy. And having detailed them, we
are bound to say that that
policy is now regarded with more
favor than when it was first begun, and that many
persons
who criticised it the most severely are now
disposed to
approve it. The relief it has given to the money market is
certainly the chief justification of this policy; and though
we are by no means sure, that the relief
might not have been
given in some other way, still the success Mr. Boutwell has
achieved will no doubt justify his continuing his purchases
for another month or even more. Moreover, if he were to
stop now, most of the benefit of his past purchases would
be lost.
We do not profess to know how much of
weight Mr. Boutwell may attach to these conflicting
views, but the general impression is, that he is so well
satisfied with the working and the
popularity of his
plans that he will not give them up for the present.
Great anxiety prevails in Wall stret to learn what will
really
be done, as our hopes of an easy money market and of a
good
fall trade depend largely on the course the
Treasury may
adopt in this matter; for, however much we may legret the
fact, a fact it undoubtedly is, that the money market is under
the control of the Treasury, and works
easy or tight just as
Mr. Boutwell locks up currency or
pours it out 'from his
revenue
to admit of such
vaults.
If
we
now
leave the
principal of our national debt, end
turn our attention to the interest, we shall find the
yearly
aggregates very suggestive.
The table we have compiled
above shows how much of our annual
payments of interest
have been paid each year in gold and in
greenbacks, as well
as
how much is the equivalent of the total interest when
computed in currency. The reader will thus see what is the
real pressure of the debt upon
the resources of the nation.
This is, after all, one of the most important fiscal
aspects of
our national
obligations. It is, of course, gratifying to see
that the principal of the debt is gradually
diminishing, but
the interest must be paid to the day
whatever happens,
while the redemption of the principal is
voluntary, and
depends upon our choice, and upon our surplus of national
taxation, industrial growth and material prosperity. Many
of our readers will no doubt be surprised to find that the
interest aggregates on our public obligations,
computed In
coin, were larger last year, and constituted a heavier burden
on the resources of the
people than at any previous period in
the history of our national debt. *

By thia return it will ,be seen that the advance in Indian cotton ha8
been greater than in
any other description, and the conclusion is drawn
that Egyptian produce is the
cheapest in the market.
The present state of the cotton trade
brings to my remembrance a
statement I made towards the close of the
year 1867, when after about
three months of depression,
Middling Orleans cotton was worth only
between 7d and 8d per lb. I observed that the flatness which
then
characterised the trade was a great drawback to the extension of the
cultivation of cottoD, and that so far as India,
offered.
With
regard to the silk trade, it is now stated that there is the pros¬
pect of a larger and steadier business. During the last few weeks a
heavy fall has taken place in the value both of European an! Eastern
descriptions, tVe crop being abundant, more especially in Europe. With
the exception of cotton, the principal articles of
clothing are now ob¬
tainable at a low price.

The wheat trade has been decidedly firm, but, at the same
time, free
from excitement.
Millers have not operated, but an increase of
specu¬

in prices since the close of last week.
There is an inquiry for good

wheat, and should the present unsettled weather continue, the remnaut
of last year’s crop muet become valuable, for it will be much

for mixing purposes.
1 he weather this week has been of such a char¬
acter as to preclude the possibility
of the wheat crop being secured in
good condition. In the south of England a large quantity of wheat
has been cut this week, but the state of the weather forbids the
next
operation of stacking. The days are almost alternately wet and fine—
a condition of affaire
which, should it last, will prove in the end disas¬

The pastures, however, are thriving under
the treatment they are
receiving, and grass and roots are daily becoming
more abundant.

by the knowledge that the stock of cotton would be taken

During a few hot weeks in July the
appearance of the grain crops generally, however, very
greatly improved, but the
cold and rain which have since befallen us have done
harm.
In hardly

have we had so mauy returns sent in correction of the
first report, which had been
more favorable than
subsequent examination could allow. On the whole
nearly
half of our wheat returns state the
crop to be below an average—less than halt the
returns report an average—and only one-tenth of our
correspondents are able to
state that the crop in their
neighborhood is over average. The wheat crop, then,
we can hardly doubt, must be
considei’ably below its usual productiveness. Of the
returns of the oat crop, 80 put it as below' the
average, 72 declare it to be
average,
and 22 put it at beyond an average
crop. And barley, too, though our reports of it
arc not so unfavorable as those of the other
grains, can hardly be pronounced an
average crop. Seventy of our correspondents, iudeed, do so pronounce it,

As regards all succulent growth, we believe the
country may be congratulated.
There is a capital plant of both mangel wurzel
and swedes, and recent raius have
saved much that seemed ready
to die. There has been a great hay crop, and
though pastures are somewhat bare just now, there is no such complaint as there
was last year.

this side, however, the news is discredited, the opinion being that the
American Government are not likely to inaugurate such a change at a

Union and to foster trade, to uphold the good faith of the Government
and to make the bond as popular a security and as safe an investment
as possible.
The highest and lowest prices of Consols and of the
principal American securities on each day of the week are shown in the
fallowing statement:

What may

The outflow of currency to
the West, noted for the last two weeks, ha * fallen off materially,
and the receipts from the Sub-Treasury have probably much more
than set off the shipments of currency to other cities. The recent
remittances pf money to the interior appear to have been mainly in
response to the wants of the Southwest, for moving the ctops; and
the demand for marketing the products of the g;eat Western grain
States has yet to come: a fact which has its influence upon the
banks in inducing caution as to time engagements. This move¬
ment, however, is anticipated with less uneasiness thsn earlier in
the month ; for while it is true that the amount of currency in the
hands of the banks is very much lower than for years past at this
date, yet it appears reasonably certain that the Government will

g'State Bonds.—In State bonds the leading features of interest
again u^en the Tennessees and North Carolinas. The first
named have been strong on the new issues, on the receipt of a letter
from the Secretary of State that the new bonds were as good as the
old, and would not be repudiated. On this information the price
rose
to 54£, though later reacting to 53£.
The old bonds were
strong and rose to 62. The North Carolina bonds showed but
little fluctuati >n, though the special tax bonds to-day rose to 56,
but the special cause is not obvious.
The Virginia bonds were
lower, and have been in little demand. In the Southern securities,
with the exception of Louisiana levee eights, which dec ioed two
per cent, the entire list was strong, though showing but little move¬

disposition, shown some days ago, to sell freely, in expectation
active money market, has been relaxed, in sympathy with a
moderation or a postponement ol that anticipation.
A speculation
for higher prices appears to be discountenanced by the decrease in
earnings, the competition in rates of freight, and the fact that the
present ease in money cannot be trusted to continue very long ;
while, on the other hand, operations for a decline have just been
temporarily suspended, as anticipating somewhat too early an
advene course of the money ra irket.
For the moment, therefore,
there is little inclination on the part of outside operators to under¬
take extensive spec latious
Some of the lurg r holders of stocks,
however, appear to be improving the present condition of the
money market, for unloading a portion of their stocks, which gives
a predominantly
weak tone to the market.
The chief feature of interest has been a revival of speculation in
the long-forsaken Erie. It appears that an agreement has been
entered into between the Erie Railroad Company and the Lake
Shore Comp any establishing future running regulations between
the two road-i. On the part of Erie it is engaged that the company
shall lay a narrow guage track from Buffalo to New York, the
laying of the track to be provided for by the issue of i5,000/-'00
b >nds, to be designated the E:ie Narrow Guoge Bonds, thi interest
on which is to be secured by a lien on the
earnings of the narrow
guage line. On passenger and freight charges the Erie Company

It is also intimated that thekE ie managers will,'at an early
day,
register their stock, preparatory to its being restored to the list of
the Slock Exchange.
The result has been an advance in the com¬
mon stock from 28£, our last quotation, to

being 34£.

There has been but

of railroad freights to the West

better, although Leather shows no
improvement. Tallow, at some decline shows renewed
movement for export.
Whiskey has declined.
Petroleum has been fairly active/ but the advance in
Antwerp has been barely sufficient to maintain prices. Oils
Hides have done rather
quiet, without essential change. Naval Stores have not been
active, but on a limited supply offering prices have ruled
firm.
Metals have shown a very firm feeling, with rather more
demand throughout the list.
East India Goods show a slight improvement in gold
prices, but are not active.
Hops are without new feature. It is between seasons,
when prices are naturally unsettled. There is no doubt that
the crop in this State is nearly as large in quantity and
better in quality than last year. The accounts from Wiscon¬
sin indicate a pretty full yield of good quality, but one or
weeks later than
last year.
Receivers are expecting
about 20c.
Wool continues to droop, several large mills have stopped,
and the pressure to sell increases, especially in fine wools, for
which there appears at present but little demand.
Freights have been mere active, and some advance in
rates for grain is established at the close.
Scarcity of room
available for the grain trade is already felt, and this circum¬
stance so
early in the season is not a little remarkable. In a
short time the receipts of grain at this market will be three¬
fold larger than now, and the means of transporting the
surplus to Europe is a matter of no little importance to that
trade. To-day the Liverpool steamers were firm at 10£@

depressed and unsettled. The supply of
hog products is not large, but the demand is limited, and
prices too high for the safe offering of a new season. Mess
Pork declined 50c per bbl to-day, touching $32 3S. Lard
is comparatively steady.
Bacon dull and nearly nominal.
Butter in large supply and dull except for choice. Cheese

possession of the returns show¬
ing the receipts, exports, &e., of cotton for the week end¬

pro¬
with hut limited exceptions. A correspondent takes
exception
to our estimate of the
damage from rust in the Atlantic States, believ¬
ing it to be greater than we state, and encloses some evidence from one
individual with regard to it. It is an
extremely difficult affair to give
an idea of
crop prospects in a country so extensive as
this, and fore¬
gress
shadow what the result is to be. To do it
correctly we obtain informa¬
tion from very
many sources. Our advices all agree in stating that the
shedding and rust complained of is merely local and
very limited in
extent,and all that we hear goes to prove that at the
present moment
the prospect is that the
crop will be in excess of the last one.

prices. Kentucky leaf opened the week with a
improving
fair demand for consumption and speculation. Reports
from
the Southwest (Louisville and
Clarksville) complained of a
want of rain, but were more favorable on this
point from the
Ohio districts. Later in the week partial rains were
reported,
and improved prospects for the growing crop, but
the demand
for consumption and speculation continued and the sales for
the week amounted to 900 hhds., about
equally divided
between these two interests, and very little for
export. Prices
ranged from 7} to 8fe for lugs, and 9@16c for common to
prime leaf. Seed leaf has been very active, with an upward
tendency. Of the sales of Connecticut wrappers, reported
below, about 600 cases were takeu for local consumption and
and 200 cases to go West, all the
range of 45@55c. The
following are details of the business: 100 cases 1868, Con¬

BREADSTUPFS.
Friday, August 27, 1869, P. M.
The market generally has had a downward
tendency all the
week. Flour has come to market with much
freedom, and
with dull and drooping accounts from
Liverpool prices have
declined fully 50c per barrel.
Scarcity and
high rates of
freights have contributed to the decline. Receivers
continue to sell freely on arrival, and
they are not likely to
be willing to send freely to
store for some time. The high
cost of handling,
insurance, and the difficulty of procuring dis¬
counts, together with the doubtful results of storing in the
face of increased railroad facilities for
delivering flour at this
market, all contribute to favor the practice of selling from
wharf on arrival. The receipts
of Southern flours have been
restricted by the
drought, which had dried up the millocean
streams, and California flours

after he arrives in the city and sees an abundance of satisfac¬
tory goods on the jobbing stands, is afraid to purchase to any
great extent, for fear that the goods will go down on his

foreign dried the market is dull, though prices show no less firm¬
ness.
The advance in freights to the West checks the demand from
that source, and the Eastern trade, which were
purchasing last week,
were pretty well
supplied. Domestic dried have been rather more
active at lower and more settled prices.
New blackberries are in de
mand and scarce.
Of foreign green there is a better
supply. New
lemons are beginning to arrive quite freely, and sell at good
prices.
To-day at auction sale was made of 500 boxes Palermo and Malaga
lemons ex steamer at $12 00@13 75 per box.

they can be distributed. The experience of the
past has led to this caution, and it can hardly be deemed
unreasonable. If it were only possible to establish one fact
with certainty, namely, that middling cotton would not sell
below 30 cents during the next nine months, we believe that
buyers would take hold with great eagerness. As it is, the
great uncertainty and conflict of opinion, as to the future
course of cotton, keeps the market for those
goods in a very
irregular condition. Except for the hesitation and irregularity
Just referred to, and some few failures among wool dealers and
manufacturers in other cities, the general tone and feeling in
the market is very
good.
