BANKING AND FINANCIAL.

BURLINGTON, CEDAR RAPIDS AND MINNESOTA
RAnwAY.-The completion of this Road has given to
its First Mortgage Seven per Cent Gold Bonds an
established character equal to any mortgage issue
dealt in at the Stock Exchange We are prepared to
buy and sell these bonds, at any tme at our Bank
ing-House at market price-thus placing them on
the same basis for temporary permanent invest
ment, with Governments or any other security.
These bonds are a first and only mortgage OF
$4,000 per mile, based on a railroad that has cost
$4,000 and which commands, without competition,
all the traffic of Northern Iowa and Southern Mime
sota-shortening the distance from st. Paul to Chi
caeo 45 miles and to ST. Louis more than 30 miles
The net earnings are already largely in excess of
interest on the bonds and doubt exists that they
will more than double within the ensuing year
A contract has been secured with the Chicago
Burlington and Quincy Railroad Company obli-
eating the latter to invest so per cent of goss earn
ings derived from traffic with the Burlington, Cedar
Rapids and Minnesota Road in the bonds of this
Company. This arrangement makes praflcal con-
soidation of the two roads, and establishes large
sinking fund for the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and
Minnesota Bonds
The convertibility privilege in these bonds en-
abes them to be exchanged for stock, at par at any
time This secures to the holder, at his option, q
share in any excess of earnings over the interest
obligation.
An exchange of Government securities for these
bonds returns 81 per cent interest instead of per
cent which is all that Governments pay at present
price, besides leaving an immediate gain OF about "
per cent in price for reinyesment.
The subscription price of the bonds Is So ana
accrued interest in currency.
All marketable securities taken in exchange, free
of commission and express charges.

RUMORED SUSPENSION.
ODeratIOns Closed In a Large Ship Building
Establishment.

Rumors prevail that the extensive ship-bulld.
ing firm of Reaney, Son 4 Archbold at Ches-
ter, have been obliged to suspend. We learn
that their works have been closed, and all ope-
rations In progress stopped. One of their en-
pIoyes was informed that the firm had been
Obliged to make an assignment and that the
future course of the establishment was as yet
undecided. They would want his services, if
they should resume, but he was advised not to
miss the opportunity of employment elsewhere.
IL is stated that negotiations have been in
progress for the sale of the works to Mr.. John
Roach, the extensive New York builder, who
has heretofore been announced as designing to
commence ship-building operations on large
scale at Chester.
The causelof this suspension, or failure, is not,
as we understand, lack of orders, there being
several very important jobs on hand at the time.
