. ISSUE OF SECOND MORTGAGE BONDS,
(Ohio Division)
Payable in London.
4,000,000 Dollars. Due in 1883,
Coupons due Ist January and Ist July.
„Secured by a Registered Mortgage on the Income and all
1,-;orporate Molts, ivileges, Lands, Franchises, Plant, and
4-roperty of the Ohio Division of the Railway.
Tile Bonds are redeemable at par in New York, or in Lon-
don at 4s. 6d. per dollar, and are transferable wi bout stamp
or endorsement ; Interest Coupons are attached to the B nd
Payable semi-annu .1 y, at the Cons lidated Bank in London,
at the fixed rate of 4s. to the dollar. The Bonds will be
issued at 66, at which rate Bonds of 1,000 dollars will cost
.1:148 10s., carrying Coupuns due January 1, 1865.
The Coupons represent £l4 per annum on each Bond of
1,000 dollars, or 91 per cent interest on price of issue.
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
Itailway, as rapialy as the different sections have been
opened, an unexampled success. The whole line is now fully
ready for business and thoroughly ballasted, but the demand
for rolling stock has been so far in orroess of anticipation that
Adequate provision for it has not been made, and 200 miles of
the, main line has remained shut up until now. Greaten' r a
nave been made to amply 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 cdrs 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 Rail, ay, it is but reasonable that that
toCmpany, which will so largely benefit, should furnish a por-
n of the rolling stock, and to meet this a treaty has been
Made with the Erie Directors for the expenditure of five
million dollars in the construction of engines and cars. The
entire amount is now under contract for rapid delivery, and
58 received will be used exclusively for the through traffic
over the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, the latter
otnpaay 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 t
en year no railroad of anymagnitu le has
been. built on the American Continent except the Atlantic
and Great W( stern, in which period the population and all
produce, agriciltural and mineral, have largely increased;
hence results pro perous state of most of the railroads,
Whose net recA:tts have enabled large dividends to be paid
to the stockholders, after providing interest on indebtedness,

and it cannot b 3 doubted that the Atlantic and Great Wes-
'ern, possessing almost a monopoly of the petroleum traffic,
and pissing over the extensive coal fields of Ohio, which are
(412:t eater extent than even the large field, of Pennsylvania,
Will show results at least equal, and most probably exceed-
ing some of those above named.

This, under ordinary circumstances, would be applicable
to Dividend on Stcelr, but for the amount required to pay
interest on Bonds (7:7,86) dollars being payable in London,
at the fixe ; rate of 4s. per dollar, and the rate o' exchange
at present ruling exceptionally high a I ortion of above
sari lus would be absorbed in the premium for gold.
It is thus evident that the resources of the road will be far
snore than equal to meet the charge for interest, even should
the rate of exchange rule much higher than at present.
The aeveral divisions of the Atlantic and Great Western
Raid. way have been cansolida•ed under the government of
2nles Robb, Esq., whose reput tion as a Banker and Rail-
way Administrator is estabiished in Europe as we 1 as in
