The prospectus of the London and Lisbon Cork-
Wood Company (Limited) is issued. This company
is formed louder respectable auspices, and with in-
fluential names in Portugal. The fact that above'
two-thirds of the capital have already been sub-
scribed for would appear to indicate that it has
been well considered, and we learn that every in-
formation bearing upon the past history and present
poeition of the Portuguese cork trade is in posses-
sion of the directors. The company have secured,
by means of leases for terms of years, a large mono-
poly of the produce of the principal cork pro-
ducing districts, including 142 forests, some of which
contain as many as 15,000 to 30,000 cork trees.
The leases have been verified by the testimony
of an independent agent Direct communication
with the cork-producing districts will shortly be
established through the medium of the South
Eastern Railway of PortugaL As compared with
the existing rude method of collection and prepa-
ration of the cork, it is estimated that a very great
saving will be effected. The company are to take
last year's crop of raw cork, estimated at 1,100
tons, and some sales have already been effected.
Amongst the other advantages put forward are the
co-operation of the landed proprietors, members of
the foreign direction. The purchase money for
the whole of the leases, together with the plant in
Portug, and the last year's crop of cork, is not to
exceed 30,0001., and of this only 8,000/. is to be
incash. The capital is 100,0001., in 20,000 shares
of 51. each, of which the foreign directors have
stipulated that a portion shall be offered to sub-
scribers in Portugal.
