the present price of shares In estimating the az
pendtures in the above statement we have nut dovv
the working expenses at forty three per cent end FIR
doing have adopted the calculations of reliable
authorities. We informed that the actual work.
ing expenses will not exceed that rate per cent,
under any circumstances According to this
calculation, the stock Of the Reading Railroad
Company is of the most profitable investments on
the market at present prices At par, it would be-
more productive than any State stock the list.
This is the view holders take Of It, and are therefore,
indifferent about selling. In less than sixty days
dividend Of four dollars per share will be paid which
will materially reduce the Of shares after making
allowance for the regular rate Of interest the in
vestment. The Norwich and Worcester Railroad stock
is somewhat similarly situated The semi snnusa
dividend OF three per cent due In January the par
value OF the shares, is equal to Ave per cent tire
present price, equal to ten per per aunum on
the investment at current quotations This there
fore, is one of the best purchases OF the day and
holders know it. There is q wide margin for an ad-
in both Of these stocks those who are aba
to carry them VIII be well paid for so doing Harlem
Railroad stock lie slowly but steadily advancing in
value and in favor 1t cheap enough pre-
rent prices to attract capitalists and judging from the
monthly increase In the receipts should think there
doubt but that the dividends the company have
CONNIE need paying would be continued The new city
track will enable the Company to carry Its local
traffic at about half the expense for motive powers
and as soon as the improvements and exte con-
templated are made the earnings will without doubt,
be largely increased. Erie Railroad stock, compared
with either Of the three above is the poorest
vestment of the lot 1t is selling in the market ten
per cent higher than Reading and nearly twenty per
cent higher than Norwich Harlem. The Company
pays Elk per cent interest par which is equal to
.h,,,k hale,
is therefore lees protective than either of the other
railroad stocks named and its prospects are by nc
so favorable The cost Of the Erie Railroad at
this mement, does not vary much from twenty mlons
Of dollars; while it's gross earnings this year will be
under sixteen hundred thousand dollars. The Read
ing Railroad cost sixteen millions Of dollars aud lite
gross earnings this year 1850 from January Janu-
airy will be nearly two and half millions of dollars
We leave 10 tbote interested figure up which the
most valuable toek OF the The former is selling at
seventy eight aud seventy nine per cent and the lat
ter is selling at sisty.six and sixty. per cent.
The former pays three per cent in nary and thS
latter eight.
There several ether stocks the list, the pres
poets of ~hish are exceedingly fattering, and the
margin for improvement much greater than in those
requiring more money to carry. The Morris Canals
