it traverses populOus district destitute OF other rail-

profitable local business; and it will be completed at
an aggregate cost far below that of any competing
line. These advantages cannot fail to make it one
of the best paying roads leading from tue metrOpo-

issued on Railroads running from the City of New

equal to these For the investment of trust or other
funds there is nothing better and in exchange for
Government Bonds they give large increase of in
come, beside capitalizing the premium. They are
