ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

This Company has been formed forthepurposs of importing
into the Lugllah market, from the southern parts of Swops and
elsewhere, a supply of healthy cattle, for which the rapidly in-
creasing population of this country, and the naturally great con-
sumption of animal fool, present a profitable arid for a largely
Increased supply.

To dairymen this Company bolds out groat advantages, by
importing Spanish, Jersey, and other cows, which hare so esta-
blished reputation as good dairy stock. The grazier will also
be beneritted by the importation of young and weliceaditioned
animals at a moderate cost and to the consumer the object of
this Company w W be of the highest Importance, as It secures a
supply of foreign tattle tree from disease attributable to a want
of proper vi utilation and stowage os shipboard.
The calculations of the Company are hued upon a great
existing commerce, and an immesh's demand ; and from a moat
moderate estimate It appears that a wiry large prom may be
confidently anticipated oe the capital of the Company.
Applications for shares may be made to Um bankers, brokers,
solicitor. or the secretary, at the temporary ounces of the Com-
pany, where prospectuses can also be obtained. No application
will be attended to unless accompsnied by a deposit of 10a, par
share.
