SUCCESSFUL AND POPULAR


Few securities have ever been placed upon the
market which, In so short time have taken 30 high
investors Ia as sSye he 81 F gond o b
Northern Pacific Railroad Company. The Seven
Thirty Gold Loan OF this Great corporation is
already solid and gratifying success, and the
present daily sales are
LARGER THAN EVER BEFORE.
[From the N. Y. world.l
The most prominent feature in financial affairs at
the present time is the increasing demand fer first
class railway bonds both here and In Europe. The
large surplus of money seeking investment is now-
ing steadily Into American railr1ad bonds, which
are attracting shrewd and cons ryative capitalists
and investors TO an unprecedented extent During
the month some important negotiations have been
eonsummated in Europe, and the bankers market
widespread demand. Many deposltors in savings
banks are removing their funds, and are investing
in the new railroad bonds now Offering on the mar
ket.
[From the New York Tribunel
"Millions of the $40 bonds have been exchanged
for those Of apparent equal soundness, but which
bear more tempting rate OF interest. Included IA
these bonds those OF the Northern Pacific Rail-
way Company, offered by Messrs. jay Cooke Co.,
at par In currency, and Which bear gold interest
at seven and three-tenths per cent. per annum.
They are first and only mortgage upon one OF the
greatest-if not the greatest-railway enterprises
the world has ever seen"
Speaking of the r, turning abundance of loanah.e
capital the financial editor Of the Tribune also re-
"if we are to drift into the condition Of. things
surprisng IL all that class OF securities TO which the
Northern Pacific belongs were materially advanced
In pricel"
[From the N. Y. independently
"As an investment security we know Of none OF
whatever character, equal to the Northern Pacific

ty and profit. The favor III which these bonds are
held by investors is indicated by the large sales,
which, thus far during January, have been at the
rate of two millions per month

chasing lands gives assurance Oi large settlements
upon the lands during the next season. The COM
