RAILROAD BONDS.


RAILROAD BONDS.
In railroad bonds there has been a more active
business at higher prices The Pacific bonds have
been especially strong and active; Union Pacific
frsts at 1887 ex interest, about equal 1o7 with
interest on, land grants at 100, and sinking funds
at 96A the latter having per cent. interest due
September 1. other good bonds have also met
with fair inquiry, and, with the present high
prices OF governments, it is evident that there
will be considerable demand for sound railroad
securities to relnvest some Of the money paid out
on the July disbursements.
STATE BONDS.
The business In this department was clrcum-
serlbed, the principal activity being in Tonnes
Sees which declined to 40, but subsequently recov
cred to AK. The State passed It's July interest,
much to the regret of many of the holders OF its
bonds, but 1t is understood that efforts are still
being made to borrow money for the payment OF
the coupons. The Virginia Commissioners have
given notice that per cent Will be paid on the
coupons OF consolidated bonds due July l, 1874,
and per cent on two-thirds OF the face Of old
bonds never consolidated.

THE EXCURSION TO THE CRAWFORD House.
The Army & Navy Union were blessed with
perfect day yesterday, and the five hundred
people who were fortunate enough to 60 with
them had the pleasure Of seeing the mountains
in all their glory. The ride through the Craw-
ford Notch is all that its most ardent admirers
have painted it to be. The train was under the
care of Superintendent Hamilton and Conduc-
tor Richards, and the ride throughout was one
of unalloyed pleasure.
On arrival at the Crawford general rush
was made for dinner, and although the gentle
manly proprietors had received no notice, some
two hundred were served with bountiful re-
past. Chandler's Band played some select mu-
sic in front of the hotel, for which the summer
visitors gave them repeated applause They
were invited to dinner by Messrs. Barron, the
proprietors. About two o'clock the party took
the train for the Fayban House, and an hour
was pleasantly spent in gazing at the noun
tains from the piazza of this immease hotel.
About four o'clock the party started for home
and arrived here safe in little more than four
hours. This is quick time for such a heavy
train.
The>Army & Navy Union are to be congratu.
lated on giving our citizens such splendid ex-
cursion at such a low figure.

COLLISION AT SEA.-About six o'clock Mon
day evening as the steamer City of Portland,
Capt Pike, of the International line, was pro
ceeding along the eastern coast of Maine at
half speed, in dense fog, she collided with
the wrecked schooner Mary Ann of Jonesport.
The schooner was not much damaged, and the
steamer as she scraped along the side of the
disabled vessel, had her light upper W. rks
slightly stove by the Mary AIMS bows ri i.
Three hours of carpenter work will repair the
damage to the steamer.
The accident would not have occurred Int for
the fact that the schooner had been cut in a
gale and lost her foremost Her fog horn was
heard on board the steamer, and the proper
course to, steer sisnalled her by whistle but
she could not respond.
The wreck was taken in tow for three hours
and dropped off Petit Menan, the nearest point
to Jonesport. The commander of the vessel
had no doubt that he would be able to work in.
but requested Capt. Pike to have the Collector
at Eastport notified of his condition. This was
promptly done by the International compapy's
officers at this port.
The City of Portland arrived here soon after
seven yesterday morning, and ten minutes lat
er proceeded on her way to Boston.
