suit viii follow with the Chesapeake and Ohio
bonds on ths completion of the road. we have no
doubt
Holders Of Five-Twenties, by conversion into Cen
trails retain the interest and increase their cap
ita about 10 per cent By conversion into the West
ems the increase is about 10 per cent into the Ches-
apeake and Ohios the increase is about 20 per cent
Or holders OF Contrals can exchange for Westerns
or Chesapeake and Ohos and increase their capital
from to per cent, and in either case have bond
just as snre to be paid principal and interest in
gold as Five-Twenty bond
AS the amount of Chesapeake and Ohios remain
ing unsold ia 80 small and the demand very great,
they will soon be absorbed There are very few
Centrals and Westerns on the market, and they
will soon largely advance in price AS it will be i'm
possible for all holders of Five-Twenties in any
event to obtain these bonds it would seem best for
those intending to make the exchange to apply at
once. Fisk G. HATCH.

EEw-YoRK, Sept /, 1871.
The Government have this day notified the hold
ers of ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS OF FIVE TWENTY
BONDS that they will be paid in gold on presenta-
ton, and after ninety days the interest will cease.
ALI holders of the issues Of 1862, 64 65 and G5s,
should at once decide whether they will hold and
take the gold when called on, or convert into the
new S. A. and 49, or exchange for other securities. AS
it is possible the premium on gold may soon be much
less on account Of these heavy payments 1t clearly
becomes the duty of all holders of Fve-Twentes to
take the matter into serious consideration
We are strongly recommending In exchange the
six per cent gold bonds principal and INTEREST," of
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company, now
selling ct % and interest, of which we have only
S5 still unsold. The total amount Of the
loan is s15,oOo.OOO.
We also furnish the Western Pacific skies ut the
market price, now about 90.
Also the Central Pacific skies at the market price,
now about l01i.
The Central PscAcs amounting to s25 1856 900, are
in sharp demand for the German markets, and any
amount can be sold readily as 80 many Five
