Whether subsidies are given to any other companies or not, the Govern ment will comply with all its contracts with the Uuion Pacific Railroad Company. Nearly the whole amount of bonds to which the Company will be entitled have already been delivered. per per at 35 the FIRST MORTGAGE RONDS AT PAR.

Tho longest six per cent, gold interest bonds of the U. S. (the '81's) will be due in 1*2 years, and they arc worth 112. If they had 30 years to run, they would stund at not less than 125. A per fectly safe First Mortgage Bond like the Union Pacific should approach this rate. The demaud for European investment is already considerable, and on the comple tion of the work will doubtless carry the price to a large premium. 1 SECURITY OF THE BONDS.
