prices have ruled from is 6d to Se beneath the highest point of
the market. Refined goods are heavy, and lower to purchase.
The total clearances to the 17th inst. were 6,357,668 owts,
against 6,27n.019 cwte in 1851.

29s to 30s per owt.

further improved Id to 4d per lb.

no actual change to notice in the quotations.

—Mrs. Yates, grocer, of Clifton, near Eccles, suffered severely
for some time from an ulcer in the neck and, with a fruitless
perseverance in the use of various remedies, she felt convinced
nothing whatever would heal it. However, by the recommen-
dation of Mr. Heap, druggist, of Openshaw, she commenced
using Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and these invaluable medi-
cines very speedily cured her, not only healing the wound, but
restoring her to a perfect state of health.

CLOSING OF THE SHARE LIST.
The Directors are happy to announce that, in consequence of
the large number of shares that have been allotted and paid
upon, the share list will be closed on Friday, the 30th November,
after which date no applications will be received.
Arrangements have been made which will enable the Bank to
commence business early in January next.
This Bank, to be incorporated by Royal Charter, is established
for the purpose of founding the principle of MUTUAL BANK-
ING, whereby customers, who create the profits, become en-
titled to a participation in them, by way of interest on their cash
balances. The principle of mutuality has been for many years
acted on by insurance companies, and their policy-holders have
participated to a very great extent in the bonuses, with much
advantage to the institutions and the Shareholders. By Banks,
however, to this period MUTUALITY has been neglected. The
whole of the profits resulting from successful operations have
been given to Shareholders only.
ADVANTAGES OFFERED BY THE UNITY BANK.
I. To Shareholders, five per cent. from the date of payment
on all paid-up capital, as well as fifty per cent. of the profits.
11. To customers, iu addition to the ordinary amount paid on
deposit and current accounts, interest on their cash balances,
equivalent to fifty per cent. of the Fonts.
This is the plan on which the UNITY JOINT•STOCK MUTUAL
BANKING ASSOCIATION is established. By it is created, for the
first time, an identification of interest between the customers
and Shareholders of the Bank, who thus become mutually con-
cerned in the extension of its business. It will be the means of
opening up new business, preserving la connection once formed,
Sand productive of practical benefits to the public generally.
CONDITION OF LONDON JOINT-STOCK BANKS.
The success of Joint-stock Banks in London is readily ad-
mitted, as well as proved, by the statements periodically issued
by those great commercial institutions. In support of this the
following table is submitted, showing the condition of each of
the six tuetropolitan Joint-stock Banks which have published
accounts, the original cost of the shares, their present market
value, and the dividends payable thereon :

The above Banks publish the following facts with regard to
their positions:—
I. The entire amount of subscribed capital in the six Joint•
stook Banks in London is 12,704,2001.
_ _

11. The amount thereof paid up is 2,817,0351.
111. The amount of deposits, or customers' balances, is
29,376,4101.
IV. The total number of Shareholders is 4,097.
V. The uumber of shares issued, 167,08 t. .

Thus is presented proof of known security, extent of business,
and general financial resources. These establishments hold
half-yearly meetings, and lay before their connections full ac-
counts of their progress and general operations. This course
cannot fail in inspiring with confidence all who have any deal-
ings with them, while it gives to the public the means of forming
an opinion as to their responsibility.

INCREASED VALUE OF JOINT•STOCK BANK SHARES.

It Is proved to demonstration that Joint-stock Banking, under
proper supervision, affords a most legitimate and unusually pro-
fitable field for the investment of capital. The dividends paid
by the Banks above quoted vary from 6 to 25 per cent., and the
latest quotations of their shares show an increase of from 55 to
295 per cent, on their paid-up capital. The real increase, how-
ever, in the value of the shares may be better understood by the
fact that the paid-up capital of these six Banks is 2,817,0351.,
and that its present market value is 8,911,1161. It has thus in-
creased two-and-a-half fold, au that every 11. has now become
21.105., and there is every prospect of this amount continuing to
increase in value.
