The immense development of the Western States of Ame-
rica, without any increase in the means of transit to the
Eastern ports, has given the At antic and Great Western
Railway, as rapirily as the different sections have been
opened, an unexampled success. The whole line is now fitly
ready for business and thoroughly ballasted, but the demand
for rolling stock has been so far in excess of anticipation that
adequate provision for It has not been made, and 200 miles of
the main line has remained shut up until now. Great eff r s
have been made to supply locomotives, carriages. and trucks.
The Company has built extensive works for their construc-
tion, and are now turning out one locomotive complete every
four days, and ten freight ears every day. In this way the
demand will, in reasonable time, be supplied.
As the entire through traffic, to and from New York will
pass over the Erie Railway, it is but reasonable that that
Company. which will so largely benefit, should furnish a por-
tion of the rolling stock, and to meet this a treaty has been
made with the Eric Directors for the expenditure of five
million do,lars in the construction of engines and cars. The
entire amount Is now under contract for rapid delivery, and
as received will be used exclusively for the through traffic
over the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, the latter
Company on its part agreeing to supply a similar quantity
for the same purpose.
Following the financial policy, adopted at the outset, of
issuing securities to the public only after so much of the line
was finished as would secure the necessary income for pro-
viding the interest, the Company feel justified, now that the
building of this great railway is complet d, in making this
additional issue of Bonds.
During the last ten years no railroad of anymagnitu le has
been built on the American Continent except the Atlantic
and Great Western, in which period the population and all
produce, agricultural and mineral, have largely increased;
hence results the pro perous state of most of the railroads,
whose net receipts have enabled large dividends to be paid
to the stockholders, after providing interest on indebtedness,

way divided last year

and it cannot ba doubted that the :an.
tern, possessing almost a monopoly of the petroleum traffic,
and passing over the extensive coal fields of Ohio, which are
of gr eater extent than even the large fields of Pennsylvania,
will show results at least equal, and most probably exceed-
ing some of those above named.
The whole system of this Railway, when in operation, will
onsist of—
The Main Line - Sa'amanca to Dayton 385 mi:es,
Branch to Cleveland 67
Franklin Branch and Buffalo Extension SO „

Total 632 ~
Of this 322 miles have been successfully worked during the
summer; for the last three months the earnings having ex-
ceeded 1,000,0(0 dollars. Ess 'mating the receipts on the
entire line to be only as groat in proportion (and unques-
tionably they will be considerably larger), there would
accrue—

Dols.
A gross receipt of
Deducting 50 per cent. working expenses

Interest on total Bonded Debt, in- Dols
eluding pre, ent Issue ..... ....... 966,580
Rent of Leased Lines
-1,266,560

Leaving surplus 2 107,418
This, under ordinary circumstances, would be applicable
to Dividend on Stock, but for the amount required to pay
interest on Bonds (717,86 dollars being payable in London,
at the fixe i rate of 4s. per dollar, and the rate ot exchange
at present ruling exceptionally high), a portion of above
surplus would be absorbed in the premium for gold.
It is thus evident that the resources of the road will be far
more than equal to meet the charge for interest, even should
the rate of exchange rule much higher than at present.
The several divisions of the Atlantic and Great Western
Ral.Way have been cansolida•ed under the government of
James Robb, Esq., whose reput tion as a Banker and Rail-
way Administrator is established in Europe as we 1 as in
America. Mr. Robb. as President of the Atlantic and Great
Western Railway, joins the Direction of the Erie and other
lines forming the Throu2,h Route between New York and St.
Louis, so as to secure unity of action.
