LAND GRANT BoNDs.-By an article recently pub
lshed in regard to the sales of lands by % of
the principal land grant railroad companies of the
United States it will be found that the actual price
realized per varies from SO on TO SlS 9S, and
that at the head of this list stand the lands of the
GRAND RAPIDS AND INDIANA RAILROAD, running
from Fort Wayne in Indiana, northerly through the
State of Michigan. The same statement shows that
the lands of this Company selling at the rate of
$50 967 so per mile of road, and the issue of bonds
being but at the rate Of $4,000 per mile, are thus
secured not only by first mortgage on the road but
by double the amount in lands. 1t is therefore
apparent to investors that the security of these
bonds is beyond question: as the proceeds Of the
lands are invested in the repurehase of the bonds
The of the high prices of these lands is that
they valuable lumber lands, and situated near
to the consuming population Of the country, being
within GOO miles of New-York City,
