Bankers and Financial Agents of the Chesapeake 
and Ohio Railroad Company, 
No. 5 Nassau Street, New York. 
We are now selling the last of the Chesapeake and 
Ohio Fifteen Million Gold Loan, secured by mort¬ 
gage on Ihc whole railroad property. These bends com¬ 
bine perfect safety with a fair income, and a prospective 
advantage in their future market value. Holders of Five- 
twenties, or other Government securities, can exchange 
for these bonds, and realize a handsome increase in the 
amount of their invested principal and their annual in¬ 
come, without impairing the security of their investment. 
They are issued in $100, $500, $1,000, either coupon or 
registered; interest six per cent, gold, payable May and 
November. Price, for the present, 94 and accrued interest 
from Nov. 1st. We recommend them to our friends and 
customers with the same confidence with which we have 
always recommended the United States Government 
and the Central Pacific Bonds. 
We continue to buy and sell Central Pacific Bonds, 
and fully expect they will, in time, reach the price of 
Five-twenty Bonds. They are dealt in at all the principal 
money centers of the world. The Company have none 
left, and can issue no more on their main line, as the 
amount was fixed by act of Congress at $25,SS5,000. The 
properly pledged to secure the bondholders is worth 
fully one hundred million dollars ; the net receipts of the 
road for the year will be nearly three times the interest 
payments thereon. 
We buy and sell Five-twenties, Ten-forties, Eighty- 
ones, and Central or Western Pacifics, or receive 
them in payment for Chesapeake and Ohio Bonds at 
their current market price. 
Depositaccounts of banks, bankers, and others received, 
on which we allow four per cent interest. Checks payable 
on presentation, without notice, the same as at a national 
bank. FSSK & HATCH.
