The announcement of the Michigan Central Railroad
Company of their readiness to pay some $780, Oo OF
their bonds nearly two months in advance OF maturity
is feature in our railway history worthy OF note.
Less than year since, people were looking 70 the
large amount of railway bonds maturing in 1860 with
forebodngs of a crash and the idea that any Company
could pay in full at maturity scarcely dreamed o.
And yet within the year the Michigan Central pays of
over million of dollars, the Boston and Worcester
5000 900, the Cheshire 100000 to $8OOOOO and
others which do not now occur to our minds, pay
large amounts, viii voluntary extensions have car
RE forward for term of years from 50 OO0, oOO to
$40 900 more. These facts present solid arguments
in favor of railway bonds for investment, and will do
much to rem owe prejudice which has been excited by
troubles now rapidly passing away.
The money market is irregular and lenders, espe-
cally bank managers endeavoring to establish
higher rates. Some loans running at 4G4i y cent,
have not been disturbed but the current rate for
loans Of first cass colaterals is cent, with the
bulk at 81 y cent The supply of money is abun-
dant while the demand is active growing out Of
the increased stock speculation and the movement Of
the crops. Short paper is still scarce and taken with
avdity if of first Glass; at 5a6 cent. Long paper is
not go much wanted, and is passed at 81 al y cent.
Tie North Star brings about million in gold, which
will replace nearly the Saturday drain. The business
Of the Clearing House was s27 $4,000.
The Security Fire Insurance Company has declared
semi-annual dividend of A q cent on the capital
st ok, payable in cash demand. Also, dividend
to policy holders of 81 q cent the earned premiums
for which scrip will be issued on the LIST of October
next. The Stuyvesant Insurance Company dividend
of p cent, payable on the 18th inst The Naugatuck
Railroad semi annual dividend of y cent. payable
on demand The sale of the Lexington and Big Sandy
Railroad, under decree of the Court took place on
Friday last, and we learn that it was purchased by
w. T. Nichols and II. Means of Ashland KY, for the
cum of $4,000.
The numerous friends of Mr.. j. F. d. Lahier will
be Taed to learn of his safe arrival home per the
Adriatic on Saturday l,st, much improved in health
Tie items of the statement of Bank averages more
favorable than anticipated generally. There check to
the expansion of oans which has been going on while
the decrease in the specie line is moderate in view OF
the foreign shipments. The decrease Of loans wou
have been larger but for the applications for dscou
from Corporations and Bankers at the West, where
money is needed for the movement of the crops. Toe
decrease in deposits is about equal to the decreased
losses in specie.

dtion of the Banks Of the City Of New-York, Aug.
