NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 1871.
The successful and rapid pegotistion of nearly
threefourths Of the FIFTEEN MILLION LOAN
OF TIE CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO RAILROAD
COMPANY, and the energetic prosecution Of the
work Of extension and p epsrstion 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 that we
directed TO advance the price for future sales I
the Bonds, as explained in the following letter Of
MIR. HUNTINGTON, President Of the Company:
OFFICE CHFs.rv.xR AND ONO RanRoAp D

Bankers and Financial Agents c. 4 o. RRCo.:
The Western Division Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
ton ON the Ohio River, and the mouth OF New RiTsr
(ahoye the Falls o. kanawhaD, is substantially
the immense coal and oth'r busfness thai il await
ing it, CON pletion The Eastern Division. compris-
Richmond, is now in complete order and successfai
operation; the grading and masonry on eleven Of
tbe l02 miles, between the mouth Of New River aud
v hite sulphur Springs, is complete, and the work
the remaining 81 miles is 50 far sdv anced that
the read in May next, and continue without inter-
ruption until the whole line is completed.
In Jew Of there facts. you hereby directed 10
make further sales of the Bonds Of said Com pany
a. less Prses than ~ and accrued interest a, which
' 9 ?. 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
FTyE-TwENIY BOSns Of 1867 are selling at Ills
CENTRAL PACIFIC BOND, are selling at.........I 100
CHRsAPEAKE & OHIO BONDS are &c ling At 90
These bonds all nay both principal and interest in
New York City, in q. s. gold coin, and are equally
safe for in, estment.
The reason why FIvE-TwFNrY BONDS are 80 high
is because more can be issued, and the outstand
ing amount is being rapidly decreased BY purchases
by the Government from their surplus revenues
The reason why we think CENTRAL PACIFIC BOMBS
will in time advance 20 the price Of Tweuties
is because more be issued while the operation
of their Sinking Fund viii soon commence to de-
crease the amount.
The reason why CHESAPEAKE sxD OHIO BeyDs
selling so low, Comparatively, while equally
safe, IL because the Company are selling Bonds TO
complete the road. They will all be sold in q short
time, and in a few menths the road win be finished
when we have no doubt the came result will follow
as with FIvK-TwENTI and CENTRAL PACIFIC
BoSDs. The Sinking Fund Of the Chesapeake and
Ohio must 60 into effect within year after tue
completion Of the road.
