RAILWAY MORTGAGES
especially those which are active. such as the
Pacifcs, show sharp Improvement as result

This result tells its own story and needs no CON-
ment. In the early portion Of the day on the Ex-
change the dealings in railway mortgages outside
OF the Pacific issues were small. Central Pacihcs
advanced to SO, Union Pacifcs, first, nom s3k to 81
and Land Grants from sls4 to 80; but the most im-
portant Improvement was in Incomes, which rose
steadily from s3h to SAX. The Sinking Fund
bonds were In demand at 6s the asking quota
tiOn having been Co. Late in the afternoon
dealings we're confined exclusively to the
Pacific issues Central5 sold at SO q S9x;
Westerns at 80; Union Land Grants at SO, and In
comes at IS. The Union Pacific Railway Company
is rapidly converting It's Income bonds into the
new Sinking Fund bonds, the exchanges yester-
day, here and at Boston, having cached $425 600.
At this rate the Income bonds VIII soon be con-
verted These large exchanges have exerted a
favorable influence on all the Union Pacific secu-
rites, the bonds to-day having advanced from one
to three per cent.
