NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 1871.
The successful and rapid negotiation of nearly
three fourths of the FIFTEEN MILLION LOAN
or THE CHESAPEAKE ANR OHIO RAILROAD
COMPANY, and the energetic prosecution of the
work OF extension and preparation Of the Road for
an extensive mineral, agricultural, and through
traffic, have placed the financial affairs and re-
sources Of the Company upon such basis thai we
are directed to advance the price for future sales :.
the Bonds. as explained in the following letter of
Mr. HUNTINGTON, President of the Company:
OFFICE CHEsAPEAKE AND OHIO RAILROAD Col
81 William street, New York,
-, NOVEMBER Is, 1871. !
Bankers and Financial Agents c. o. r. r. Co.:
The Western Division of the Chesapeake aud Ohio
ksiroad, e%3mPrlsns the s5 miles between Hunting
(aboye the Falls OF Ksnsw Ina is now substantially
e coal n GT d.H se do
ing ts con- pet9n The Eastern Division compris
Richmond, j. now in complete order and successful
operation; The grading and masonry on eleven OF
bite Sulphur Springs, is complete, and the work
on the remaining 81 miles is SO far advanced that
rupticn until the whole line is completed
further sales Of The Bonds said
at less price than "a and accrued interest at which
price viii continue TO sell until further orders
Z. p. HUNTINGTON, President.
In compliance with the foregoing instructions the
price Of the Bonds, from this date, until further
orders, will be 81 and accrued interest.
The scarcity Of, and demand for, really
Desirable six per cent. Gold Bonds,
for sound and permanent investments, is evinced by
the facts that
FIvETwENTy BONDS Of 1867 are selling at lii
CENTRAL Pacific BoNDs are selling AIM. lO3
CHESAPEAKE 4 OHIO BONDS are selling at. 81
These bonds all pay both principal and interest in
New York City, in U. $. gold coin, and equally
safe for in, estment.
The reason why FIvE-TwFNTY BONDS are So high
is because more can be issued, and the outstand
ing amount is being rapidly decreased by purchases
10y the Government from their surplus revenues.
The reason why we think CENTRAL PACIFIC BONDS
will in time advance TO the price of Five -Twentes
is because BE- issued; while the operation
Of their Sinking Fund will soon commence to de
crease the amount.
The reason why CHEsAPEAKE AND OHIO BoSDs
are selling low, comparatively, while equally
safe, is because the Company selling Bonds to
complete the road. They will all be sold in short
time, and in few months the road will be finished,
when we have no doubt the same result will follow
as with FIvE-T TWENTY and CENTRAL PACIFIC
BONDS. The Sinking Fund of the Chesapeake and
Ohio must go into effect within year after the
completion of the road.
The CHEsAPEAKE AND OHIO BoSDs are issued
either coupon or register cd-the denominations are
as follows:
500, which costs to day s94I3
