EXTENSION.

Amongst the nsw tinanoisi undertakings
before the public, there are few which are so
interesting to us in this part of the country, as
the issue of 9,000 extension shares of £2O each
of the 6utueriet and Dorset Railway Company,
the pure being to extend the Somerset and
Dorset line to the Midland Railway at Bath,
uniting the north and south of the country by a
narrow gauge, and thereby greatly facilitating
traffic, which means development of business.
The shares are issued at £l7 lOu per 4.40, and they
are entitled to rank for dividend at 5 per cent.,
so that they will pay at the rate of £5 14s 3d on
the price of none. This is not exorbitant
interest, it is true ; but it iv certain, which can-
not be said of many other schemes that offer a
larger protit, and £30,000 is invested in Consols
to pay it until the opening of the line, fixed for
31st December, 1873, after which time it is
estimated the traffic will leave a surplus of
£20,000 beyond the amount required to pay the
interest on the Extension shares. They are,
therefore, a tirat-olaas preferential security of a
very high order. That this is the case, is indi-
cated by the fact that the shares are now at 2 to
2i premium.
