Mobile and ohio Railroad Company.


A correspondent in Mobile writes as fol-
lows to a well,known gentlemen of this
city
This company is not paying interest on
any of its bonds, nor is there any sale for
them at present. The president has Just re-
turned from Europe, and says that the En-.
glish creditors are willing to fund what is
due them until 1870, provided the American
bondholders will do the same. The war
debt of the road was S., coo, 900, of which
50, 400, 900 was paid up to January last
leaving balance of about 81, 200, 600, which
has been reduced some since that period.
The road is now well equipped, having l0l
engines against 50 when the war COM
menced, and $50 cars against $50 for The
same period. There will not be much bust
ness until the next crop comes forward.
The president thinks the debt will be paid
ultimately. The annual meeting will be
held in the first week of June, aud an eX'
hibit made OF the condition Of the road.
Whether it will be such as to inspire CON
fdence in the bonds remains to be seen.
There Is large amount OF money de-
posted in the banks and other institutions
here waiting the turn Of events for use or
Investment.
