The Danville, Urhana, Bloomington and Pekin Railroad, upon which property
these bonds are issued, is now in process of construction, its termini being the
cities of Danville and Pekin, both in Illinois. The length of the road is 117 5-100
miles: its capital stock $3,OOO,0(X). The grading, bridging, and all the work necessary
to perfect a complete roadway has been already done, and the whole line

through lines to New York and Baltimore; at Danville with the Toledo, Wabash
and Western. In fact the road will form a main link in the direct communication
of the

principal Atlantic cities with southern Illinois, with Keokuk and Burling¬

ton, Iowa, and thence with Omaha and the Pacific.
It will complete a direct line from Boston to Peoria. Keokuk, Burlington. Omaha
and the far West, via Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland, and the Bellefontalne Railroad
to Indianapolis and Danville, or via Toledo and Wabash and Western Road.
It will form the most direct line from New York to the same points West via the

Thus, with the combined advantages of a certainty oi a remunerative local
business and a through business, which, as a connecting link to so many diverging

earnings of this road must exceed, in proportion to its length, those of any other

Its opera¬
tion. Without doubt, a progressive increase thereafter, each year, would be the
result. The geographical location of the road is alone sufficient to convince all of
its great value and usefulness.
The stock of the Rock Island and the Illinois Central, the Chicago and Alton,
Burlington and Quincy Roads, are all selling at from above par to nearly 200, while
none or them are more favorably located, and the
competition of them all is much
greater than this cau have. There is no reason why the stock of (his road shall
not sell as high as either of the above. Hence the privilege of converting these bond9
into stock of this Company at par any time desired greatly increases their value.
After having personally and thoroughly examined this road, we accepted
the agency for negotiating its bonds. We now offer them at 95 and accrued inter¬
est in currency.
with the utmost confidence we recommend them as a reliable
and safe security and profitable investment.
At the present price they pay 10 per cent currency,—over 45 per cent more than
the same amount invested in Five-twenty Bonds—besides the advantage of being
free from tax, and the prospect of a speedy advance in the stock of the road on

to its northern borders.
No public work of

based is one of first-class importance. It spans the State of New-York
greater magnitude or of fairer promise for utility and profit has ever

from its Metropolis
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
rich and populous counties of Oswego, Oneida, Madison, Cayuga, Onondago, Cortland, Chenango, Otsego, Delaware, Sulivan,
and Orange, where it strikes the borders of New-Jersey, whence it continues under another name and a separate charter
that State, to the City of New-York. The last-named division is now in course ,of construction. The entire length of
#

*

New-York, the
Ulster
obtained from
the road is

upwards of 400 miles.
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 vicini-y 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 eDtire-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 a9 this road will furnish
them their mnch-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. It shortens the railroad connections of the
City of New-York with Oswego and Canada forty-five mi'es; and, by means cf a branch to Auburn, where it connects with the New
York Central, it shortens that connection with Buffalo and the We?t seventy miles. These are important advantages. Taken in
connection with its thorough construction, its easy grades, and its freedom from sharp curves, it cannot fait to compete successfully with
aDy and all other roads for through business.
Possessing such superior advantages for commanding both local and through business, and
b mg 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 most 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, ha*e mede 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 capacity, and for which they paid ill town and city bonds
bearing 7 per cent interest. These bonds being made by law exempt from local 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 $6,000,00 which, it is believed, is a larger capital than any other railroad enterprise in th.s
country has ever been started with.
By express provision of law the towns and cities which have thus subscribed for and now hold a majority of the capital stock of
the Company, can never dispose ot it, whatever the market price may be, without the consent of a majority of the tax-payers in the
‘rtfoettive towns and cities. This virtually may be deemed a perpetual prohibition of sale, whereby the control of the road will remain
lorever with the farmers and business men residing on its line, who, of all others, are the parties most interested iu its success and thus
save it from the hazards of being made a foot-ball of stock operators and speculators.
To provide tbe balance of the means that may be found requisite to com;D ete and equip the road, the Company has adopted the
usual method of issuing bonds secured Wy 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 bon iho 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 aiso 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, aud 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 Oswego
to Sidney Plains, the point of intersecticn with the Albany and Susquehanna Railroad, together with a branch to New Berlin. / 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 alreauy about completed, and not 1. ss than six y miles of track laid. The work is also
makiog good progress on other divisions of the road. It is the expectation of the Company, if not retarded by unforaeen obstacles, to
have the entire road completed within the ensuing calendar yearri~
In offering these securities to the public, if is due to the Company to say th it. in the preparation of their bond3 and the mortgage
under which they are issued, they have cheerfully adopted every suggestion that we have deemed essential to render them the most perfect
and attractive railroad security on the market. The mortgage provides that, in case of de'ault, for a period of four mouths, in the
payment of interest, the bonds shall become due; and it empowers the trustees, in that event, to take possession of tbe road and all
other property covered in the mortgage, aDd to ure or sell the same for the benefit of the bondholders. This we deem a most important
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, he may, by surrendering the coupons, convert them into permanent registered bonds.
The boodsare payable in twenty-five years from the 1st of July last. They are payable in gold coin of the United States. They
bear gold interest at tbe rate of 7 per cent per annum, p»yable 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 its admirable
location for commanding profitable local and through bush ess; ito proximity to the City of New-York; its wise protection from the
control of stock operators and speculators tbe good judgment aud energy displayed by those charged with its projection and construction ;
tne valuable
provisions contained in the mortgage ; the right to convert the bonds from coupon iuto registered, and to reconvert them;
tbe sound currency in which they are payable, aud 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.
We are authoriz d for the present to sell them at par and accrued interest in currency. But the Company reserves to itself the

It is claimed that these govern¬
ment
purchases may have tended to deplete the
supply on the market so as to give an artificial stimulus to the
price. What of truth there may be id tMs conjecture will be
seen when Mr. Boutwell ceases to
buy and leaves tbe market
to itself.
This may perhaps be next month, for it is doubtful
how far his currency balance, which is now running down,
will justify the continuance of purchases in the present liberal
scale. However this may be there is no doubt whatever that
the improved credit of the government at home and abroad,
which is indicated in the large advance and high rates of our
bonds during the past few months are largely due to the fiscal
returns to which we have referred.

witnessed at the Treasury.
The government advertised to
buy two millions of its bonds
from the public at market prices, but was unable to
get so
many, and were obliged to buy the remainder ($863,000) on
the following day. Whatever other reasons may
help to
account for ibis unprecedented scarcity, the chief reason,
doubtless, was that a fall of 3@4 per cent had taken place,
and that the holders of the bonds, in view of the
prosperous
fiscal report for the past year, and of the promising position
of the Treasury for the coming year, regard their bonds as
worth more than the current prices. The fiscal report for the
past year is indeed very gratifying. Instead of the alarming
deficit which was so confidently predicted, we have a surplus
of income, amounting to about 50 millions of dollars, of
which 45 millions have been gained under the present admin¬
istration from April 1st to June 30th.
Three things
have conspired to give us this large surplus. First, the
internal revenues have been better collected ; secondly, there
has been a great saving made in every department of the
administration; and thirdly, the income tax has just brought
into the Treasury some 40 millions of dollars. This last cir¬
cumstance it is which has enabled Mr, Boutwell to engage to

The

foregoing statements are very suggestive. Tbe customs
yielded' 180 millions, against 164 millions last
year, 176 millions in 1867,179 millions in 1866, 84 millions in
1865, and 102 millions in 1864. The customs duties may
now be
regarded as yielding an assured revenue of 160 to
180 millions.
This sum could not probably be increased
with advantage. But a due regard to the public credit will
not allow it to be diminished, for on it we are dependent for
the means to pay the interest on our national debt.
In last year’s internal revenue aggregates, there is a great
decrease. " The amount was only 159 millions, against 191
millions the previous year, 266 millions in 1867, 309 millions
in 1866, 209 millions in 1865, 109 millions in 1864, and 37
millions in 1863, which was the first year of its collection.
The falling off in the internal revenue receipts is due, of
course, to the repeal of taxes, and the decrease would have
been much more but for the stringent and faithful collection
of the taxes, especially of those on whiskey and tobacco,
which have been of late enforced with a precision and impar¬
tiality unattained before under our revenue sjstem. The
general opinion seems to be, that our internal revenue might

advantage be still further simplified, and that all tht

minute and less

productive taxes should
swept from the
altogether. * There are not a few persons who
believe that the income tax, the whiskey tax, and the tobacco
tax, if faithfully collected, would yield almost all that can
safely be levied in this country by internal taxes.
Leaving this vexed question of taxation, however, it js grati¬
fying to gjuuce at the other side of the balance sheet. Our
navy has cost 20 millions against 25 millions in 1868, 31
millions in 1867, 43 millions in 1.866, and 122 millions in
1865.
The army cost last year 78 millions against 123
millions the previous year, and 95 millions in 1867. The
civil service cost us 56 millions last year, and the pensions
and Indians 35 millions.
From the lack of detail, these
items cannot be at present conveniently compared with those
of previous years. We shall probably resume these con¬
siderations hereafter. The result of our analysis, so far as it
has been pursued, is amply sufficient to confirm the opinion
of those who see in the high prices of our government bonds

improving fiscal strength of our National

There will, nevertheless, be an increased amount of stock, not

indeed, compared with the last few months, but with the time when
the subject of the purchase of the companies by the Government was
unthought of, for the proposed purchase has had the effect of increasing
their value to a very important extent. By some it is considered that
the Government are paying an extravagant price, but as the Bill has
now been passed, it is beyond the hope of recall.
There are also the

change of opinion has taken place with regard to the probable future
course of the Bank rate of discount.
Only a few days since was the
impression general tint a decline in the official minimum to 2£ per
cent would have taken place that week ; but the directors of the Bank,
at their meeting on Thursday, met aud separated without announcing
an alteration.
The fact is, that the demand for money has consider¬
ably increased during the present week. The inland bills which
matured on the “ fourth” have been provided for, and this has neces¬
sarily been one cause of the improvement which has taken place.
Again, numerous dividends are now being paid, aud before long the
half yearly dividends on about £500,000,000 of railway stocks will be
io course of payment. These will temporarily absorb a large supply
of money, and although it is only passing from hand to hand, and will
soon find its way back to the quarter from whence it wa» taken, yet,
while in this state of transition, it is lost to the discount market, aud
diminishes the facilities of borrowing money at easy rates. These
causes, however, are of but a temporary character, and cannot effect
the rates permanently. The impending loans will have a more lasting
effect, and it is these, probably, that are now influencing the market to
a considerable extent.
As so favorable an opportunity is now pre
eented, it is anticipated that the East Indian government loan of
£8,000,000 of cash, or perhaps a moiety of it to commence with, will
be brought forward before long, if not almost immediately. Many of
the large financial houses are, no doubt, m iking the necessary prepa¬
rations for that very safe speculation, and the loans that they may be
calling in, and the negotiations they may be entering into, are in all

poses,

of government lands (in addition to the grant

already made by the

the clearest policy in the world for the government to grant lands on
the line of a new railroa l through its Territories.

The Money Market.—In the
market tlure is little
chaDge from

general features of the money
last week. Call borrowers have
found no difficulty
in supplying their wants at 6@7 per cent. The
ease in Wall street
leans, however, arises to a large extent from the
indisposition to employ money on discounts, and is in rea'by an
indication of expected
activity. The banks with Western connec¬
tions are
sending out moderate amounts of currency daily, and
these remitdances a>e to be
regarded as the beginning of the usual
efHux of
money to the interior for moving the crops. In order to
keep themselves prepared for this outflow, the banks very naturally
prefer to employ their money where they can get it on demand, and
consequently eschew discounting and other lime engagements,
except so far ns may be necessary to accommodate their customers.
At present the Westward remittances are made to some extent in
the torm of bank
currency, and therefore do not represent so much
loss of legal tenders. It is to be

expected, however, that to mor¬
statement, partly from this cause and partly from a loss
of gold fr m the
market, will make an unfavorable showing. In
anticipation of an active market during the fall mouths, some large
holders of stock have made
arrangements for having their securities
carried in
Europe; and others have borrowed gold on time, against
stocks, and sel ing the gold have thereby procured currency.
I lie discount
market, uuder these circumstances, is working with
c msiderable elo euefs.
Sellers of paper are dependent, to a large
ex ten
upon street buyers, and have to pay from 9@12 per cent
discount on prime names.
Exchanges with the interior are not bringing any currency of
moment in this; direction.
At New Orleans, exchange on New
York is quoted § premium, at which
figure it would almost pay to
remit currency; but as considerable
gold is being sent here from
that point, there will
probab'y be no occasion for the remittance of

The
firmer tone nt the close is due to the advance of
Sixty Twos at
London to 84 and reports that orders have been received for
the
purchase of a considerable amount of bonds on London account ;
the prospect of the Government being
a purchaser of $3,000,000
next week—If2,000,000 on
Wednesday and $1,000,000 on Thurs¬
day—alto has its influence in strengthening the market, and the
more so
as
no very
considerable amounts are coming upon the
market. It appe irs there has been an effort on the Lond >n and
Frankfort markets to depress the price of
bonds; and this attempt
has induced a scarcity of bonds, which
may account for the firmness
of the market.
It is also reported that the house of Rothschilds
has recently taken an interest in the bonds of our
Government; and
this fact becoming apparent from the large
purcha e3 of the firm, a
strong impetus to the demand was a natural result
It L nnacistood that large orders on their account have also been received on
this side.
This important Let amounts to the indorsement of the
credit of the United States Government by the greatest banking
house in the world, and must have an important
bearing on the
future value of our securities. The Currency Sixes a»e in more
active demand, partly from private investors who desire a loDg
investment and partly from financial li slitution*, who, regarding a
decline in gold as probable, view them as destined to improve in
intrinsic value.
Some also are buying on the hop; that the
Secretary of the Treasury may be induced to revoke his refusal to
allow their being used by the banks as a depo it on the
Binking
Department against eireula ion.

THE CHRONICLE.
•

Central Branch or the Union Pacific.—This road is
completed to
Waterville,one hundred miles west. There it was to connect with the
Kansas Pacific, but that road, instead of
turning northward to Fort

&l)e Rniluiag Jllonitor.

Kearney,

as originally contemplated, continues due west to Denver,
leaving the Atchison line with no outlet. The Atchison road received
a subsidy of
$16,000 per mile; and its managers claim that as they
have fulfill'd their part.of the contract, the
government is bound in
good faith to give them a Western connection by
continuing the endow¬
ment for 150 niles further, to Fort
Kearney, where they can cmnect
with the Union Pacific.
They allege that the road is so well built that
not even Kansas freshets have ever
destroyed a t ingle cidvert.
'I ho loed busine s is
already very large, and will ultimately become
very heavy.
The company has just put 250,000 acres of land into the
market, at from $2 50 to $10 00 an acre, payable iu instalments run¬
ning through ten years.— Chicago Railway Review.

^EXPLANATION OF THE STOCK AND BOND TABLES.
1. The Table of Railroad, Canal and Miscellaneous Stocks, on the next
pa£'3, comprises all Comp inies of which the stock is sold in any of the prin¬
cipal cities (except merely local corpora’ions), or upon which dividends are
paid. Quo atious are always given of the per cent value, whatever the par of
the stock may be.

2. The Tables of Railroad, Canal and Miscellaneous Bonds occupy, in all,
foar pag»'grtw-^of wh'ch will be published iu eaohnumbtr. In these pages the
bonis of Companies which h ive been consolidated are sometimes given under
i lie name of the Consolidated
Corporation. 'I lie date given in brackets imme-

paid to I he stockholders of the former, over and above all other claims
changes, including the government dividen I tax on the rental to be
pai«. This sum is 12 per rent upon the share capital of the Fort
Wavne Company, and equa’s tin* interest on a capitalized sum of
$10,714,285— a turn $8,214,285 greater than the /»bare capital of the
Company at the date of the lease. By its terms, its fclmrt capital is to
be increased by a Ihe amount, upon which, in peipetuity, and free oi
government tax, dividends of fi per cent, in quarterly payments of 1^
per cent, are to be forever paid.
The fulfillment of the terms of this
lease is guaranteed not only by the net earnings of the leased road,
which forthepjst five years hive been $3,000,000 in excess of the
rental hat would have been called for had the base been in operation,
but, bv those of the Pennsylvania Bail read Company, which are twice
greater, over and above all changes upon it. A security has thus been
created of unexampled excellence, and one which will be sought for as
an investment for trust lunds—an investment
bearing a high rate of
interest, and one in which no change will ever be required, and fur
which every possible condition of safety is supplied.
Tho books of the
Company are now closed, so as to call in the old and issue the new
stock.

selling at remunerative prices, the balance for export will be larger than

COTTON.
Friday, P. M., August 20, 1869.

By special telegrams received by us to-night from each of
in possession of the returns show¬
ing the receipts, experts, &e., of cotton for the week end¬
ing this evening, August 20. From the figures thus obtained
it appears that the total receipts for the seven days have
reached 1,361 bales, (against 1,753 bales last week, 1,441
bales the previous week, and 1,691 bales three weeks since,)
making the aggregate receipts since September 1,1868, up to
this date, 2,336,168 bales (of which 241,000 bales are over¬
land shipments direct to the mills), against 2,444,837 bales (of
which 260,000 bales are overland shipments), for the same
period in 1867, being an excess last season over this season of
108,669 bales. The details of the receipts for this week (as
per telegraph) and the corresponding week of 1868 are as

The course of foreign spinners in
entering the Liverpool
market and buying largely in excess of immediate wants has
resulted the past week in a decided advance in

prices here,
culminating yesterday in considerable excitement and a with¬
drawal of much of the very small stock
previously offered.
Private advices by cable to-night, however, indicate that the
the fever has probably turned, and when the moment of
reflection really comes, we anticipate dull times at
Liverpool,
while Manchester takings will be small,
supplying a large
part of their diminished consumption from their stock, which
is now large. Shippers have been able
during the week to do
very little here (notwithstanding the higher prices and excite¬
ment at Liverpool) on account of the decided fall in
gold, the
difficulty of negotiating exchange, and the upward turn in
our market, low
grades having advanced fully 2£c since our
last report. Spinners havs bought of the
high grades, which
are more
freely offered, to supply immediate necessities. On
Saturday and Monday the market was quiet. The former
day ordinary and good ordinary advanced £c, but for the
better gTades there wa3 no change in price. Tuesday the
market was more active, spinners
being the main purcha ers,
and all grades advanced Jc.
Wednesday there was a
further advance of £c on the low grades and
on middling,
and the market was excited.
Thursday ordinary and good
ordinary advanced 1c, and the better grades £c, and many of
the samples were withdrawn by holders so that it was
impos¬
sible to fill orders. To day the market is
quiet and so closes
with an advance of \ cent on all
grades. For forward
delivery there has been an active demand and prices have
advanced, but the close is heavy. Sales have reached about
11,675 bales (all low middling, or ou the basis of low mid¬
dling), of which 100 bales were for July, at 32£c; 200
bales for September on private
terms; 200 bales for Sep¬
tember at 31c.; 100 bales for
September at 32£c.; 550 bales

Friday, P. M., August 20. 1869.

The

leading point of interest in the market this week ha*
demand for dress goods and various others, where
the demand last week was confined almost exclusively to
heavy staple goods, both cotton and woolen. This more
general inquiry has still been stimulated by the sharp com¬
petition in railroad freights to the West, which offers great
inducements to ship goods immediately, as the low tariff
cannot possibly be continued much longer.
A second point
of importance also, is the fact that Gotton closes one cent
higher than last Friday.
The character of the business done, however, is not
par¬
ticularly satisfactory to the ffcrade, as it is thus far rather

Woolen Goons are moving Jreely, and rates are improved consider¬
ably. Dealers are evincing more spirit in this line, and the gloomy
feeling, induced by the large failure, has worn off to a considerable
extent.
I eavy overcoatings are in demand, and rates obtained in com¬
to
parison
the previous season are excellent. Imp rted woolens are
ala > in good demand.
Plaids appear to be the prevailing fashion for
the ensuing seaeou, and they are offered in adiversity of styles. Shawls
arc still very active, and the lemand gives no
indications of a decline.
The assortments offered are varied and of meritorious designs.
Buyeis
cannot fail of being suited in the choice grades exhibited.
Foreion Dress Goods are becoming more active, but bade is not
satisfactory in this line even yet. 11 porters aro exhibiting fine styles,
both in design and fabric, and in desirable goods also.
A noticeable
feature of the trade so far is the entire absence of those lines of cheap
and trashy goods which last season’s opening produced in such quanti¬
ties on the niaiket.
Dealers have evidently learned that the day for
such fabrics is past, and that the goods offered now must be in attrac¬
tive grades, and of some intrinsic value.
Jobbers are doing very little
in this line as yet, although a goixl business is,anticipated as 6oon as the
season is opened.
Black alpacas are destined to have quite a run the
ensuing fall, judging from the many new styles aud quantity imported.
There are at least seven or eight entirely new bran 's being offered a t
present, some of them very desirable.
